Tahiti Airport Motel

True to its name, the Tahiti Airport Motel is a convenient and basic budget property that’s located a few minutes’ drive from the airport. Its setting up a small hill means some higher-level rooms have attractive views, but those walking from the airport may find hauling luggage difficult. The 46 rooms are certainly simple, but they’re contemporary and cheerful, and are equipped with great air-conditioning, small flat-screen TVs (with no English-language channels), kettles, and floor-to-ceiling windows. Unfortunately, no bottled water is provided, and poor soundproofing means noise issues from late-night arrivals and crowing roosters nearby. Free breakfasts are sufficient, and the free property-wide Wi-Fi is fast. There’s little of interest within walking distance, but this is a good pick for overnight travelers needing to be close to the airport. 

Baymont by Wyndham Santa Fe

Though the Baymont Inn and Suites Santa Fe is a 20-minute drive from most attractions in Santa Fe, it’s a decent pick for those seeking a budget stay and a location next to Santa Fe Place Mall and chain restaurants. Features are few, but it does offer an indoor pool and a hot breakfast of sausages, eggs, and waffles. The 55 rooms aren’t the most stylish (and maybe a tiny bit dated), but they do well in amenities with microwaves, mini-fridges, and coffeemakers. Santa Fe Sage Inn is a good alternative for those wanting to be just outside of downtown, as it offers a free shuttle to the Plaza and free breakfast.
