Very nice hotel with a professional, friendly staff.
We went for some warm weather and early season golf. It's a great place to stay and well maintained. Unfortunately they don't open the outdoor pool until May. It was low 70's degrees days when we visited and it would have been great to get in some pool time. I'm from Colorado - 70's is great for laying out and soaking in some sun!
The reason I'm only giving 3 stars is that there aren't a lot of options for eating. As a gaming resort you'd expect there to be a few more options. Breakfast and lunch are tough. The week we went the Painted Parrot was closed for remodeling. The Red Sage is fantastic, but opens at 3pm for bar service and 5pm for dinner. The only lunch option was Iguana Cafe. Just a little surprising that a gaming resort wouldn't have more options available.
Every staff person we dealt with was friendly and helpful. The staff is well trained and made the stay even more enjoyable.response / report this review -

I reserved the multi-level executive suite at the end of a road trip from California to Texas and I'm so glad I did! The room-it was more like a private townhome-was amazing! Full kitchen, living room, and half bath on the floor level with a private patio, followed by a spacious master bedroom upstairs! It has a massive king size bed, gas powered fireplace, and the most luxurious bathroom with a huge double vanity sink, shower, separate toilet, and an enormous jetted tub perfect for relaxing after a long drive. There is also a good sized balcony overlooking gorgeous mountainsides with a sliding glass door from the bedroom. This room does not feel like a hotel room, rather a luxury apartment home!

This casino has it all. From slots and great table games in the casino to entertainment and great food. We like craps and played quite a few times. We find this the most entertaining because everyone plays against the casino and when you win everyone wins!
We came in and out of town and every time we stopped by their was a craps table open!
So much fun. Classy place. Everybody was very friendly.
Thanks!response / report this review -

Very nice Hilton. The Casino is in the front of the resort, hotel is in the back. Free parking, very large and spacious rooms. Mine had a balcony. If you have Hilton Status you get a free breakfast buffet at the Cafe or $10 at Starbucks. The full buffet restaurant is not an option (and it isn't open for breakfast anyways)
The Casino has table games and slots. Plenty of variety and special events. Their awards program does seem to have a comp for food after playing a certain amount.
I will stay here again..response / report this review -

First of all, this place is beautiful. A Hilton resort, you'd expect more. Service is awful, food is disgusting (in every restaurant. Buffet especially). At checkout 11am. Front desk asked how our stay was. My husband told them about our bad experience at the buffet. So they comped us free breakfast for the bad dinner buffet. We immediately went to have breakfast. When we got there the hostess told us that breakfast was over. We explained what front desk told us. We were told to place our room number and front desk would adjust it. Instead we got charged. We got a free breakfast, and since the buffet was over we had ordered lunch. We complained but they refused to fix their discrepancy and charged us for our complimentary breakfast. Every staff member we encountered was rude. We will never visit buffalo thunder again.

The whole casino is very nice it was a little hard to know where to go for the special event upstairs for Santa Fe Comic-Con 2017. As always the biggest gripe is the smoke as my family and I are not smokers but beyond that everything was clean and the staff was courteous. The event went off without a hitch and I thought it was really cool to actually explore all of the shops that Buffalo has. I definitely recommend anyone to go to an event at Buffalo we brought our three young children and had no issues even eating at the deli which had a decent French au jus sauce and sandwich.

Room was clean & comfortable until the last night of my stay. That’s when the a/c started acting weird and randomly cycling on & off and loosing power. The housekeeping staff could use a lesson in dusting. My allergies were killing me as there was thick dust on the top of the mirror in the bathroom, the bathroom light fixtures, & on top of the tall headboard. There could be extra pillows & an extra blanket in the closet but there isn’t.
The food in the Iguana bar was good for being hotel food. But it’s not cheap.response / report this review -

I enjoyed the room and balcony. The room was very clean. The food at the restaurants was expensive but good. There is a 2.5 mile walking loop and a dog park. I found the casino boring, but there is a free shuttle to downtown Santa Fe that was very convenient. I liked the fitness center and the indoor pool and hot tub. There was no complimentary breakfast. Huge facility! I would definitely return.

The Hilton Santa Dr Buffalo Thunder resort is nice, but not quite what I was expecting. Service, room, staff are all top notch. The location is tucked away nicely in the New Mexican desert with mountains surrounding. We booked this place for our vacation and Is about a 15 minute drive into historic downtown Santa Re. My only drawback is the place is really centered around the casino, which isn't a bad thing, just not something that interests me. However, I must say it is a quiet, relaxing spot.

We went for dinner and gambling just for a fun night out in Santa Fe. We ate at Red Sage, which was very good. It was a pricey meal, but the quality and flavor of the food were on point, although the dishes weren't terribly creative. The cocktails were more inventive than the menu and they head a small selection of good bourbon. We played blackjack and on a Monday night I thought they could have had more tables with low minimum bets open. The rules were slightly different than when I've played in Vegas but the dealer was helpful. The casino was only a little smokey, which was nice. We'll come again next time we're here.

This hotel & casino, I stayed in one of the suites here one room with 2 queen beds. A master bath tub and separate standing shower. Also has a living room with couch love seat table and chairs and a half bath. 2 nights $600 There is a indoor and outdoor pool with hot tubs. Room service. Lots to do staff seems nice. Seems like there is a problem with the plumbing every time you flush the toilet you can hear a gurgueal in the bath tube. Over all a nice place needs more elevators. Lots of walking.

Wow! This place is amazing! The design inside and out is beautiful and captured the Southwest. The outdoor pool area is great, but bring plenty of sunscreen! The rooms are clean, comfortable, and unique. I am here for a confrence, but I would definitely return for vacation!

We were there for dinner and casino play. Casino was good, though a bit smokey which is expected. Wasn't until the end of our time there that we found the no smoking room. It was OK because that is where I won all my money back! The restaurant in the casino was not a good experience. Not many people in the restaurant. It was about 10 minutes before our drink order was taken. Chicken fried steak was like one you find in a school cafeteria. We had to ask for refills on our drinks. For the price we paid I was expecting more. Not good restaurants experience.

This was a nice resort, I didn't get to take advantage of the pool or spa, but the casino and restaurants were nice. The conference rooms were well staffed. The lobby was very beautiful. The room was comfortable and clean, but I found it odd that there was not a microwave. Overall this place was nicely located and situated for a weekend getaway, but could use some updates, like faster Internet, microwaves in the rooms, and a complementary continental breakfast.

Great hotel, staff, rooms and amenities. Three nine-hole golf courses on-site as well as several restaurants and a casino. Walking and hiking trails leave directly from the resort. Although weather was warm, outdoor pool was closed and apparently doesn't open until sometime in May. Indoor pool is nice and was open. Resort is about a 15 minute drive to the downtown plaza area with many shops and stores. Would highly recommend this resort and will stay here on my next visit to Santa Fe
