La Fonda on the Plaza

Staff was friendly and helpful, facility was in great shape. our room was unique with original art and colorful furnishings. The lobby area is large and comfortable and well used.

The building is wonderful, a pueblo style exterior with an art-filled interior. The staff was gracious and accommodating. We loved the folk art touches scattered throughout the public places and rooms. You could hear the Basilica bells pealing and walk to the place to mingle with the tourists. The La Fonda is a fine, venerable institution. Santa Fe has an extraordinary architectural homogeneity (in a good sense). The must have very strict zoning rules for the historical district. That being said, it all seemed a bit artificial, without the sights and sounds of real town. Not far out, there are miserable reservations with dirt-poor housing and a feeling of desolation. That is not La Fonda's fault, of course, but it is a bit shocking.

Year-in and year-out the LaFonda always sets the standard for my Santa Fe visits. Yes there are many great hotels in this wonderful town but for class, comfort, quality dining and loation you cannot beat this historic Inn.

The hotel is beautifully appointed with southwestern antiques and details. Staff was helpful and friendly. Central location and easy parking.

The bathroom was unique and the setting of the hotel was perfect. Great for spending time and walking around Santa Fe. My view was of a parking lot.

The comfortable beds, beautiful decor, very friendly staff and good location.
