Love the view

− The vendors down from our Window. Looks like a Homeless Camp or swap meet

Early morning noise kill the stay.

I stayed at the hotel last weekend. This is a beautiful hotel in the heart of the city, so why give it only two stars? Because on Monday morning, I didn’t need to get up early, I am retired, no plane to catch, etc. But around 4:40 in the morning, all I heard is beep, beep, beep of a truck picking up the garbage. So I start to fall back to sleep, but at 5:50 in the morning, the delivery truck is outside my window with guys talking and moving stuff. I know both of these things need to be done, but I believe this room and the other rooms located near by need to be a greatly reduced rate, say 50% for this inconvenience. So if you stay here, don’t accept a room from around 122-130 or maybe the floors above those rooms.

Room location was partially unsatisfactory. It was too close to the elevator where people congregated waiting for others. Also, one night a very large group of people were standing and sitting listening to music by a guest playing a guitar. They were laughing, talking, singing, clapping - you get the idea. Noisy. My husband called the front desk and they were dispersed. Also, I was told I wouldn't be charge for that night, but was. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and loved Santa Fe.

Landmark hotel with excellent service

A beautiful, landmark hotel in the heart of old Sante Fe. Ambience and service were excellent, with the feel of cared for in a special, classic location

Disappointing.

There were some wonderful things about La Fonda. The room was immaculately clean and the location was perfect. The artwork was lovely and historical. My issue was the postage sized rooms. There was nowhere comfortable to sit. A desk chair and a leather strapped chair that sank all the way to the floor. The shower could strip paint from a wall and very awkward. There is no door except an immovable glass wall and in order to turn it on you must enter the shower head on - so you will get soaked before finding comfortable temperature. There are no towel racks only hooks and just two. No place to set toiletries. The room is filled with oversized furniture. Staff was ok. Kevin helped us with an issue. Valet staff was excellent, especially Ishmael. Not likely to return. And don’t book room 120. There’s a refrigerator truck permanently parked outside your window.
