Booking a stay at a reputable hotel saves you from relying on the kindness of strangers or the communicative abilities of a herd of gophers that built a human-sized underground home. Get walled up in more comfortable lodgings at the Santa Fe Sage Inn on Cerrillos Road. The Sage Inn provides native New Mexicans and out-of-towners alike with a clean and comfy place to hang their hats or regional-appropriate headwear while exploring the many historic attractions, restaurants, and shopping districts within walking distance of the hotel. Each king- and queen-sized room boasts attractive contemporary Southwestern décor, in-room coffee makers, high-speed wireless internet, independently controlled heat and AC units, and a daily bottled-water service to save guests the trouble of suckling wayward cacti. Enjoy the complimentary breakfast of pastries, cereal, juice, fresh fruit, yogurt, and hard-boiled eggs before hopping on the free shuttle service waiting to whisk you away to experience the city culture.
