Econo Lodge Inn & Suites Santa Fe South – A Favorite for Families in Santa Fe

The hotel serves a free breakfast buffet with a made-to-order omelet station, a feature noted in guest reviews as a reason to wake up early. Scrambled eggs and cheese omelets are prepared on request, using fresh ingredients rather than powdered eggs. Beyond the omelet station, the breakfast area offers waffles, muffins, cinnamon rolls, bananas, orange juice, hot chocolate, and tea.

Guest rooms are stylishly appointed with Southwestern-themed décor, including colorful accents and laminate flooring in many units. All rooms include a refrigerator, hairdryer, iron and ironing board, and a flat-screen television with high-definition channels. Some rooms add a microwave and a desk, while King Suites feature a pull-out sofa and extra space with a coffee table and two nightstands.

The hotel is located on Cerrillos Road, a short drive from Santa Fe Plaza and the Gallery District, with easy access to cultural landmarks such as the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum, Museum of International Folk Art, and Santa Fe Opera. North of the city, guests can visit Native American pueblos, and the hotel is within walking distance of a shopping center offering a variety of retail options. A range of restaurants, from national chains to local favorites, are nearby, and the hotel is 15 minutes by car from downtown Santa Fe.

Seasonal recreation includes a heated outdoor swimming pool and an adjacent hot tub, both open until 10 p.m. with pool towels provided by the door. Business travelers have access to a computer with Internet, plus copy and fax services in the business center. On-site laundry facilities are available, and the hotel offers a vending machine and free local calls.

The property is monitored by CCTV cameras in common areas and outside, with key card access and fire extinguishers for security. Parking is free and accessible, though limited to cars only, and the lot is well-lit with bright lights and security cameras noted in guest reviews. Guests requiring ground-floor rooms can request them at check-in, as there is no elevator to the second floor.
