I always enjoy my stay in Santa Fe. My first time at the La Fonda. The rooms are quaint and clean. I do wish we had a balcony or patio to enjoy the night air. The restaurant was top notch. I ❤️ Santa Fe

Location, location, location! The hotel is located on the Plaza and is walkable to many of the tourist spots, as well as lots of restaurants and shopping. There are also several dining options and shops right on the property. The rooms are a bit on the cozy side but nicely appointed. We were happy we chose La Fonda!

Great stay that is very walkable for the downtown area. The first night there was some loud noise from events at the hotel, but other than that it was a great stay.

Room was loud. Air conditioner/heat and refrigerator was so loud I had trouble sleeping. I turned off air and that helped somewhat. The restaurant had no vegan options so we ate elsewhere.

I booked my reservation on Expedia because I saw they were a pet friendly hotel. When I went to check in and they asked me if I had a pet I said yes, a cat. They immediately told me I couldn’t check in because they don’t accept cats. Nowhere on the Expedia site did it tell me that. I was mortified after a 7 Hour Drive from Denver and they were completely unaccommodating. I would never stay there again or recommend that hotel because they don’t know how to convey the proper information on their third-party channels.

Stayed for 2 nights . The room was adequate although it lacked counter space to place items. It was small to the point that moving around within it was logistically a challenge. The wall paint in several areas was chipped and needed to be respackled and painted. The bathroom floor needed a good cleaning. Overall, an acceptable room. The staff, in all aspects were friendly and accommodating. We chose the hotel for its location. It is ideal to explore the downtown area and restaurants.

Location was great! The hotel is very dark and room was dated and worn. Beds were ok but nothing special. Our room needed a paint job as there were multiple scuff marks and stains on walls. Carpet seemed dingy. The chair in the room was completely non-functional as the seat sagged a good 6 inches below the frame. Breakfast was good and reasonably priced. Staff were friendly. Will try other accommodations in the future.

Beautiful property and perfectly situated on the edge of the plaza. Everything is within walking distance from the Canyon road galleries to the Rail yard area. Lovely restaurant with soaring ceiling, skylights, trees and fairy lights. The bar has live music and a few people were dancing. The reason for a 4 instead of 5 star review is that my friend got a free upgrade for her room and had nightly chocolates and turn down service while I did not. Probably because I booked through Expedia. Also, I could easily hear talking and coughing through the walls of one of the rooms next to me. They stayed up late but thankfully I brought my ear plugs.

A lovely property! Great staff and service. Dining and bar options close early, as is the custom all over Santa Fe, but for visitors used to staying up a bit later, it would have been nice to have the option of a getting a drink at the bar until 11 or so.

The property is perfectly located in the center. You can easily walk from end to end of the town. Staff was friendly and helpful. One thing we didn’t like was the noise of the vacuum. Nothing you can really do about that. We would stay again! Next time a room with a balcony.

Our stay and experience at La Fonda, was nothing but bad. For starters, the staff is very rude, snobby, and not friendly at all. When we first arrived, the valet guy was very disrespectful, the servers in the restaurant were very rude and the office staff, were very rude and cold as well. What we paid and how we got treated was very poor! We considered staying somewhere else due to the service, staff and the coldness the welcoming and the stay was. I will never stay at La Fonda again. For the price that was paid, I will take my business somewhere else. I also would not recommend La Fonda to friends or family. Very snobby and very unwelcoming!
