I felt the book left out several key points on what the traveler should know when visiting Santa Fe. 1. Most restraunts close from 3-5:30 each day and close for the day at 9:30. Our first night in Santa Fe this turned out to be a disappointment when we tried to go out to dinner after 9:00 PM. 2. There was very little info on the best ways to enjoy the natural beauty of New Mexico while in Santa Fe. We had to seek the guidance of our hotel when looking for the best areas to hike. 3. Overall the book simply tried to cover too much info about the entire state of New Mexico in it's relatively limited text and fell short on the critical info for Santa Fe. 4. Inadequate number of restraunts covered and reviewed. In fact, the best restraunt we dined in (The Bull Ring) wasn't even mentioned. 5. No photographs.

Valuable resource when traveling for the first time in New Mexico. Constantly referred to the book for recommendations on where to eat and what sights to see. Used the book prior to our trip to decide on places to stay. We were never disappointed with the recommendations. Some of the information was outdated i.e., hours of operation, admission costs, etc., but nothing major. I was so pleased with the guide that I bought the Pacific Northwest book so I would have new ideas for weekend get-aways.
