Fort Marcy Hotel Suites
321 Kearney Ave., Santa Fe, New Mexico 87501, USA
Why We Like It
For the price, it's hard to find a better option for extended stays in the historic heart of Santa Fe. All of the units in this hilltop compound have full kitchens and anywhere from one to three bedrooms. If you're willing to spend a little more, you can also upgrade to a more luxurious unit. The indoor pool is a rarity in Downtown Santa Fe.
Fodor's Expert Review
Santa Fe's largest and most popular vacation-rental compound, this hilltop spread on the northern edge of Downtown has one-, two-, and three-bedroom units, all of them outfitted with full kitchens and good-size living areas, making them a good choice for longer stays. Fort Marcy Suites has many of the facilities you'd expect of a hotel, including an indoor pool and a lobby with a small business center—during the day there's even a free shuttle service to whisk you around the area. If you're willing to overlook the somewhat dated furnishings in many units, it's a reliable option with reasonable rates, and it's also one of the closest accommodations to Ski Santa Fe.
You Should Know Fort Marcy Suites is within a relatively short (half-mile) walk to the Plaza, but it is on a slight hill, something to consider if you have any mobility issues.

Room
Accommodations at this compound are spacious and well-equipped, each unit with a fully outfitted kitchen, private patio or balcony, and a living room. In standard units, you may encounter some older, dated furniture and accessories, but these are priced more reasonably, too. The deluxe units have updated fixtures and furnishings along with wood-burning kiva fireplaces, better kitchen equipment, and cushier bedding.
Tip Fort Marcy Hotel Suites is set atop a hill, and some units do have expansive views of the mountains or Downtown. It's worth calling and asking when you book if it's possible to reserve a unit with a view.
Bathroom
Depending on whether you book one of the standard units or a more recently refurbished deluxe one, bathrooms range a bit in quality, but they're all at a minimum perfectly adequate and are brightened up a bit with colorful Southwestern tiles, painted sinks, and either standing showers or shower-tub combinations.
Lobby
The lobby is used mostly for checking in at this large condo complex, but there is a small sitting area.
Pool
There's a large indoor pool near the lobby, a relatively rare perk among downtown Santa Fe hotels.
Dining
There's no restaurant on-site, but all units have kitchens, and there are plenty of grocery stores and markets nearby.
Drinking
The kitchens in each unit are handy for storing wine and beer and preparing drinks. There's no bar, however, on the property.

Tuck into small plates of creative Japanese izakayi fare at Izanami (7-minute drive), a stylish restaurant at Ten Thousand Waves spa resort, which is a pretty drive up the hill.
