Santa Fe is a nice and small airport. I have flown out of ABQ and SAF using miles and will be doing so again in September on AA. Santa Fe has a restaurant outside but do note that restrooms are outside security. The size of the SAF airport is smaller than most hotels and homes.

ABQ has a nice observation deck and good restaurants

I've only been through there once. Scored a weirdly attractive AA fare on one of their two or three daily RJs to DFW.

But the only carriers at SAF are American Eagle (DFW) and United Express (DEN), and the latter is notoriously unreliable and prone to cancellation, and when that happens your rebook options are very very limited. ABQ is just a richer target with more options in case of trouble, and as others have said the drive is beautiful.
If the flight is cancelled then they put us up at what hotel?
