So I want to give a full 5 stars because there was so many amazing things about the property, but there was a little that could be improved. First off you are not getting a better location on Santa Fe plaza..the parking was seamless, the hotel was really historic and decor was fantastic. It was super clean and our room was cleaned fast and we never had to ask for anything. The only thing that could use some love are the rooms themselves. I heard that part of the hotel was remodeled, but I was clearly on the side that wasn’t. Not typically a huge deal but the rug under the beds was so stained and old that I had to wear my flip flops every time I walked in the room. The bathroom definitely needs some attention and the biggest issue was the AC. It was struggling to work and so loud it woke me up all Through out the night. For the price and the grandness of the hotel I just wasn’t expecting things like that to be overlooked. Beautiful hotel and I would stay again, maybe I’ll just ask for the remodeled side next time.

motel not a hotel

La Fonda at the plaza is more of a motel. I did not spend the night there. I ended up driving about 18 hours total yesterday because I had nowhere to sleep because I didn't want to sleep in a motel. It was dirty, it was loud, there wasn't even a full shower door so I couldn't have a hot shower. The towels were stained. There was a funky smell in the room. I was almost in tears. Paid almost $600 for a room that I could not sleep in because it was too shabby for me. The carpet was stained, there was dust all around the room, all of the furniture is old and not in a cute way. I ended up driving until almost 6:00 a.m. to get home to sleep in my own bed as opposed to staying there. I will never come back.
Huge stains on the carpet. This room was represented to be nice but clearly it is not.
Old cheap furniture that looks like someone picked it up at a yard sale. Definitely not giving any sort of new mexican vibes or aesthetic value

We were very disappointed to be first placed in an experimental room recently remodeled next to the service entrance on the ground floor. It was cramped and very noisy. We asked to be moved but because we booked with a third party vendor ie Expedia, the receptionist said we could not be moved. The next morning we spoke to the desk manager, Wenona, and she immediately and graciously upgraded us to the new Terrace Inn wing. This area was extraordinary and we felt incredibly appreciated as La Fonda customers despite the confusion created by being Expedia clients. We are eternally grateful for this experience with La Fonda, which happened to be my birthday celebration. Thank you La Fonda for this classic experience of Santa Fe hospitality. We loved it and will be back. The management staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful stay with them. Its reassuring that despite being Expedia customers are still appreciated. EXPEDIA needs to pay attention to this market trend and ensure its customers are treated as well as we were in this exceptional instance.

First Visit – A Beautiful and Thoughtful Experience | We stayed at La Fonda on the Plaza on July 1st for one night—our first time there—and it absolutely lived up to its reputation. The decor is stunning, full of rich Southwestern details that made the entire hotel feel warm and special. The staff was truly wonderful. We had a late check-in, and they actually called ahead to make sure we were still en route—such a thoughtful touch. Since most restaurants were closed by the time we arrived, they recommended a great nearby spot that saved our evening. This hotel combines charm, comfort, and care in the best way. We’d definitely recommend it and would love to return for a longer stay next time!

The hotel is nice and the location is convenient. The room was quite small and the bathroom very very small. Room for only one person at a time restaurant was good. The negative of this hotel is that it is very loud. We were woken up by employees talking loudly in the hallway. Seems like there is no insulation in the walls so you hear everything around you.
