Our geology course through northern New Mexico included this hotel/casino stop along the way. The hotel is non-smoking but I can assure you that you will smell stale smoke when you enter the lobby of the hotel. The doors connecting the casino to the lobby just can't stop the smell from penetrating. However, once you are out of the lobby... More

We came to Espanola to play golf at Black Mesa and decided to stay here because of its proximity to the course hoping it would be a cut above the other hotels in the area. It was! That said... there's not a lot to choose from in the town. The hotel houses both a casino and a bowling alley. We... More

We just returned from a visit to Espanola where we stayed in the Santa Claran Hotel. My wife and I were pleasaantly surprised at the spacious accommodations provided by this hotel. Owned and operated by the local pueblo tribe, the Santa Clarans, the rooms are plainly but nicely appointed with modern accoutrements including flat screen TVs and a tiled coffee... More

Hotel Casino - that should have given us a clue about the type of neighboring room occupants we were going to have at 2, 3 and 4 in the morning. A sleepless night forced us to sleep in. I now understand the 12:00 check out time, it is needed to catch up on the sleep lost due to rowdy, violent... More

This is a lovely, clean property. Staff was very friendly. The hotel is attached to a casino so one would expect a very smoky smelling hotel. This was not at all the case. There are a handful of restaurants to choose from right on the property including a nice steak house called Black Mesa. The only complaints that I have... More

I am staying here for a business trip. I was not sure what to expect since the reviews of the area are confusing. I will be staying here for a very long time so where I stay is important to me. Well let me tell you, this is in the top 10 of hotels I have stayed in (so far).... More

Isn't it great when you stumble onto a pleasant surprise? I have had the opportunity to spend a few nights in the Santa Claran recently. Great rate and the service was spectacular. Upon my second visit the staff knew my name and type of room that i preferred. The suite was spacious and perfect to conduct my small business meeting.... More

I utilized a free night stay and had no problem redeeming the coupon. The front desk staff was very accommodating, friendly and fun. The room was spacious, bathroom very spacious. If you are traveling through northern New Mexico and need a place to stay, this would be the place. I have no idea what the regular rate is. More
