The Santa Fe Hotel, together with the Cheyenne Hotel, are among the most budget hotels and have been awarded two honorary stars. In fact, the hotel is hard to call just a hotel. Most likely this is a small country of 2-storey buildings accommodating an abyss of tourists from all over the world. Check-in at the hotel is announced from 3 o'clock, but, having arrived at 12, we were lucky enough to be able to immediately throw off our armor and wash our shoulders in our room before going to dreamland.

The Santa Fe Hotel, together with the Cheyenne Hotel, are among the most budget hotels and have been awarded two honorary stars.
In fact, the hotel is hard to call just a hotel. Most likely this is a small country of 2-storey buildings accommodating an abyss of tourists from all over the world.
Check-in at the hotel is announced from 3 o'clock, but, having arrived at 12, we were lucky enough to be able to immediately throw off our armor and wash our shoulders in our room before going to dreamland.
At the reception you are taken at once by several people in a queue to which a medium-sized queue is lined up.
Above each administrator there is a box with flags of the languages that his relatives taught him. So be careful - not everyone speaks English. After examining your documents, the receptionist will issue a key card, tickets to the park and a ticket for breakfast. Breakfast is from 7 to 10, but you will be given a ticket with the time. I'll explain why later.
Having received everything we needed, we headed to our building.
Everything is like in a pioneer camp.
The rooms are quite spacious and decorated in cheerful colors. Nothing special, but convenient and comfortable. Shower, toilet, plasma - everything is like in people.
Returning to the reception area, you will see the entrance to the dining room - this is for tomorrow, the luggage storage service - will also come in handy tomorrow and a stop for sending to the park itself. The bus is big and roomy and runs every 15 minutes. The road takes 5-7 minutes on the strength.
Buses run until 2300, so even after the parks close, you can continue to party in Disney Village and then safely return to the hotel. In principle, there is a 20-minute walk, but by the evening it was really cold. So these walks were not very popular.
After spending the night with the conveniences in the morning, we went for breakfast, along the way, taking our luggage with us. Since we were here for one night and the room needs to be vacated by 11.
00, then luggage can be left free of charge on the ball under supervision in the luggage department and after the park you can return for it on a free bus.
Now straight to breakfast, where we were waiting for a huge line of starving people from the Volga region. The chaotic queue at the beginning of the corridor is smoothly distributed into two streams, depending on the time indicated on the ticket. Those who have approximately the same time - go to the queue in time, which moves faster, those who do not - advance in the second echelon. Since our ticket was for 7.00, we, of course, were not on time.
Inside the cafe is striking in size and quantity of food. Everything is standard - cheese-sausage, croissants-buns, butter-flakes, jam-nuttella. Coffee, milk, water and juices. Will go to breakfast. There are a lot of people and everyone is definitely moving. Imagine what happens here in the summer!

We were at the hotel in March 2012. We were very lucky with the weather +22, the sun! But the hotel is not very good. . . not inferior to 3 *... Everything turned out to be wrong! We arrived at the hotel at 10 am, we were given tear-off coupons that we became hotel residents (which gave us the right to put things in the storage room (it is located across the street from the reception), Disney tickets for 3 days, breakfast coupons, and that's all (! ), go for a walk until 15:00, then there will be a settlement.

We were at the hotel in March 2012. We were very lucky with the weather +22, the sun! But the hotel is not very good. . . not inferior to 3 *... Everything turned out to be wrong!
We arrived at the hotel at 10 am, we were given tear-off coupons that we became hotel residents (which gave us the right to put things in the storage room (it is located across the street from the reception), Disney tickets for 3 days, breakfast coupons, and that's all (! ), go for a walk until 15:00, then there will be a settlement...
We took a bus that runs between the hotel and Disney and headed to the park, where we spent time until 19:00 (park closing time in the off-season). After that, we returned to the hotel to check in. We were given electronic keys, and through the storage room, we went to look for our house number and check in.
We were lucky with the room only in one thing: there were good beds and pillows - that's all! Then the "adventure" began: a clogged drain in the sink in the bathroom, a shower holder tied with a thread, which fell on the child's head during washing! Out of 6 sockets in the room, only 2 worked! walls! Of the lamps in the room, only the sconces above the bed worked, there was no overhead light, and the large floor lamp on the chest of drawers did not work!
Now about the pros: the room has a safe, an electric kettle, a battery (but you need to turn it on yourself (because cleaners turn it off during the day! ), a plastic window, but it doesn’t open in the window mode... Therefore, we turned on the battery at night to It was warm and the window was opened to let fresh air in.
Now about food. We still didn’t understand, but, probably, depending on the time when you want to have breakfast, you will be offered to do this either at the hotel or at the restaurant on the territory of the Disney Park. Probably, they offer it at the hotel until 8 in the morning, and later in the park . We ordered breakfast for 9am so we ate at the restaurant at Disney. We liked the food, better than in a hotel in Paris: there were meat cuts (3 types), 2 types of cheese (only they cut it into cubes (! ) Like butter! ), 2 types of plasticizers: corn and chocolate (there was no oatmeal ), jams, honey, butter, pastries. Hot milk, coffee, tea and cocoa are poured in vending machines at the edges of the buffet (there is nothing in the jugs, don't look for it! )
Another minus: at the travel agency we were told that upon arrival or in the morning before departure, our child at the reception would be given a backpack with gifts and sweets from Mickey. Nothing like that even in sight! And when we asked the administrator about this when handing over the keys, she looked at us with square eyes, saying that they don’t give anything like that! And the last thing, we didn’t manage to get breakfast on the day of departure with dry rations (we had a ticket for breakfast, we paid for it on the ticket), but no one was interested that the restaurant opens at 7 morning, and we leave at 6 (! )
This is such a hotel! One joy is that we tried to transform everything into a positive, so we perceived this "miracle hotel" as a rooming house. We spent all the time outside it: we left at 8 am, returned after 10-11 pm and immediately went to sleep. Fortunately, we were exhausted during the day wow! : )
P. S. There are no Russian speaking staff in the hotel!! ! Therefore, when settling, it is better to delay the guide who will take you to the hotel to help fill out all the paper forms. And then, English spoken is enough : )
