Espanola has charm and at times gives the traveler the impression that the hustle and bustle of everyday life have managed to pass it by. And so your thought of a modern, updated casino hotel may not really click in your mind. But viola', welcome to Santa Claran Hotel. Very nice rooms and bathrooms, large by any standard and if...

This is a very beautiful hotel and actually my second time staying there. The staff this stay was way friendlier than the first time. The rooms were comfortable, clean and we had an end room, so it was nice and quiet. The hallways smell of smoke, which is understandable due to it being connected to the casino, but they should...

This hotel is gourgeous. The staff is great and the casino that is attached to it makes it better. I was not aware of this great hotel. They also are partners of Black Mesa Golf Course. The course is challenging but amaizing at the same time! If you are planning a visit to Santa Fe, or you are in transit... More

This is a beautiful property, one of the nicest hotels in the area. The front desk staff was very kind and friendly. The Starbuck's in the lobby is convenient. The beds are comfortable. AC/heat system is quiet....not a window unit like many hotels. This is my second visit to The Santa Claran. I have stayed there a total of about... More

We stayed at this hotel, as a stopover on a trip. We weren't interested in the casino part, but just the accomodations. The rooms are very nice, luxury-level bathrooms and bedding. There was no smoking in the hotel rooms, but that didn't make any difference. Any time a person walked down the hallway from the casino, they brought the intensive... More

Probably the nicest hotel on our bike trip to Santa Fe, Taos, and Espanola. Spacious room. Great bathroom and shower. Excellent meal in their Black Mesa Restaurant. But be careful with their 99 cent breakfast; you must register with the casino first and then each person must sign his/her own voucher. Otherwise, a great hotel.

I stayed one night, using a coupon for a free night that I received from a local golf course. The hotel was clean and comfortable, and my room was large with a huge bathroom. If I had to knock one thing about the room I would say it was dark, even with most of the lights on. Even the bathroom... More

Hadn't stayed in Espanola for more than a decade...this is the best place hands down between Taos and Santa Fe. The bathroom was huge...great towels...excellent shower. Well appointed bedrooms...heavy drapes...nice TV...lightning quick wifi. The only thing the room needed was a small light in the nicho where the coffeemaker was located...probably a moot point since there's a Starbucks downstairs ;)... More
