Along with its sister property, the 35-room Hacienda (located next door), the upper-middle-range Hotel Santa Fe is the only hotel in town owned by Native Americans. The Native theme is handsomely on display throughout the 128 rooms and suites and the hotel common areas -- you can even arrange a private teepee dinner through the hotel restaurant, Amaya. But the rooms could use some updating, and aren't as big as those in other comparable properties nearby. The hotel is about a 15-minute walk from the Plaza; visitors who want to stay closer to Santa Fe's shopping and cultural center could look into La Fonda on the Plaza.

The two-and-a-half-pearl Comfort Suites offers comfortable accommodations for travelers on a budget and good value, but it's situated on a busy six-lane road and it isn't within walking distance of downtown Santa Fe. The property's 60 guest rooms lack style, but they're spacious and comfortable, and offer conveniences like microwaves and mini-fridges, and some suites add wet bars and sofa beds. Amenities are solid for a hotel in its category, with freebies including hot breakfast served in a colorful dining room, Wi-Fi throughout, and on-site parking. There's also an indoor pool and a hot tub. Travelers looking for a step up who also want to stay closer to town can consider The Lodge at Santa Fe.

For those interested in a unique, historic B&B in Albuquerque, the Brittania & W.E. Mauger Estate might be the perfect choice. The three-story red-brick Queen Anne-style home was built in 1897 and has been excellently maintained and restored -- but contemporary touches such as free Wi-Fi make this a contemporary property, as does its prime location to modern attractions (downtown and the Convention Center are a short walk away). Guests rave about the breakfasts, chocolate chip cookies, and evening appetizers with wine, as well as the personal service and decor -- all homey B&B-style touches that you won't find at larger chain hotels.

Situated on the Sandia Pueblo Indian reservation just north of Albuquerque, this rambling resort is packed with amenities, including a huge casino, large amphitheater, massive pool area, and restaurant. Great views of the nearby Sangre de Cristo Mountains grace the gorgeous grounds and 18-hole golf course. The Native American art on display throughout the hotel is spectacular, but be prepared for cigarette smoke in the public areas.

The mid-range Hampton Inn Albuquerque-University/Midtown offers inexpensive rooms and a convenient location. This central Albuquerque hotel had a facelift in 2010, giving the big lobby and 131 rooms a modern feel. Convenient freebies include Wi-Fi, parking, and a hot breakfast. There are also some perks on offer such as 32-inch flat-screen TVs, an outdoor pool and Jacuzzi, and a fitness center. While there is some space to lounge by the pool, the bland hotel grounds aren't the most pleasant backdrop for swimming and sunbathing.

Gorgeous and hip, this downtown boutique is housed in a historic building with a luxe vibe and eco-friendly focus. Featuring a rooftop bar and a stunning lobby, the Andaluz evokes the feel of a Spanish resort, yet also honors its own history as a New Mexico landmark with extensive Southwestern art throughout. Rooms feature exquisite bedding and high-tech touches, but the hotel lacks the range of amenities expected from upscale brands.

The gorgeous, historic Hotel Parq Central may technically be mid-range, but it looks and feels more like an upscale property. The public spaces and guest rooms feature elegant decor and the free breakfast includes gourmet selections. But this stylish 74-room boutique lacks some of the amenities of a larger, higher-end hotel. There's a rooftop bar with great city views and an extensive collection of railway relics, but a tiny fitness center and no pool (just an outdoor Jacuzzi).
