The El Ray at $700+ with no cancellations and no refunds doesn't fit my reality...

...so looking at options I see Cottonwood Court Motel within walking distance and a bit nicer Lamplighter Inn a short drive.

Good choice/bad choice/options?

Wow, I had to double check my reservation! $159 with 48 hour cancellation. Are you sure you got the right hotel? Regardless, plenty of options in Santa Fe, just don't get too close to the plaza for a decent price.

Just ran it again from the link. Total: $623.35 so it dropped from a couple days ago, or I wrote it down wrong (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) (edit $725 for 2 beds, since I usually event travel alone I plan to split the room)
