I think I've Found our Hotel!

I've been deep in internet land looking at hotels, and think I've found a good one.  We can get a good group rate at the Inn on the Alameda.  http://www.innonthealameda.com/index.htm

This is the top rated hotel on Tripadvisor (which I have always found to be a reliable source). The location seems pretty ideal (walking distance to the Plaza and to the art galleries on Canyon Road.  

I contacted the hotel and confirmed that they currently have available:
6 traditional rooms with 2 Queen beds, patios or balconies, whose group discounted rate is $207 per night plus tax.  
2 traditional rooms with 1 King bed, patios or balconies whose group discounted rate is $221 per night plus tax.
A selection of more deluxe rooms, but only two of these have 2 beds, and those are far apart from one another.  The discounted rate for any deluxe room is $261 per night plus tax.
These rates include breakfast, free parking and an afternoon wine & cheese reception.

The hotel will hold rooms for me without any deposit for up to 60 days prior to arrival (at which time a deposit is required).  I think we should reserve rooms, and if anything more attractive shows up we can cancel.  SO,  I need to know final room count.

I know that Jodi and RoseAnn both indicated that they wanted to share a room, so I will reserve one traditional Queen/Queen for you.  I want a single, as does Sarah, so I will reserve the two traditional Kings.  

Peg, Kris, Diana & Lalitha all indicated they were flexible.  There are enough rooms available that you could each have your own traditional room (although it would have two queen beds) at $206/night.  Or you could share.  Confer amongst yourselves and let me know ASAP so I can put a hold on these rooms.

Get your Santa Fe Gear together!




Don't forget to pack your Santa Fe style when we head out on our trip.  My daughters and I did not quite measure up in our fashion for the plaza last year.

My Vote

Let's stay put in Santa Fe. Sounds like balloons require too much driving back and forth.
