Originally Posted By u k fan I've stayed in the Santa Fe, although it was a good 10 years ago. It was clean, comfortable and the service was good, but the rooms were small and basic. I would only really recommend the hotel for a couple or those with small children. The hotel facilities are meagre and you can have a bit of a trek between your room and the main building. If you're not planning on hanging around the hotel much then Santa Fe is fine and I would stay there again, but if it's not too much more expensive I'd rather stay at the Cheyenne of the two "Value" hotels because the theming is better. Another option is to try the Holiday Inn. As a "Good Neighbor" style hotel it has the free shuttle bus etc. and is not much further than the Santa Fe, 2 or 3 minutes bus ride at worst. The facilities are more in line with what you might expect at the Sequoia. You can book direct on the Holiday Inn website and usually rooms are a steal. I've stayed there several times and it is a great option on a budget. One thing to mention is that the Holiday Inn is not part of the Magic Hour program so that may have a bearing on it!!!
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo I'm pretty much with UKFAN with this one. Santa Fe is ok as a shower and bed. Be sure to get to breakfast at opening, otherwise it is hell. Having stayed here 3 times, it's ok, but I much prefer the Cheyenne or even more so, the Holiday Inn (but that doesn't cover extra magic hours). Also, if it is still hot, the Santa Fe and Cheyenne do not have air con.
Originally Posted By irishfan I've never actually stayed there, but have often walked around the grounds etc, and a close friend stayed there a couple of years back, basically everything ukfan and Dave said goes. If you only want a bed and and a shower it's fine, but if you want to linger around your hotel a bit, I'd go for something else.
Originally Posted By smedley We stayed at the Santa Fe the year before last, it was fine, it was clean and the beds were comfortable. Yes the restaurant was busy at breakfast time, but it was doable, we were further away from the main building towards the river, which meant yes it was a way to walk to breakfast, but it was closer if you wanted to walk to the parks. That all being said, I also like the Holiday Inn, it's a good quality hotel, the only thing I would say is please make sure you're up early for the buses to the parks, we've had a couple of bad experiences with that.
Originally Posted By Malin Thanks for the info just to give you a quick update I've pre booked my package online through the Disneyland Paris website to stay at the Santa Fe Hotel in Sept and made a £90 saving thanks to the early Sept Booking.Rather stay else where but just not worth the extra cost involved and atleast this way I was able to aford an extra night at the Resort.Looking very foward to visiting to enjoy the 15th Anniversary.
