衞生間比較乾淨,房間有點灰撲撲暗坨坨,帶點年代感。和走廊的隔音不太行,早上九點開始過客+清掃人員的聲音挺響。

住了兩晚 每天早上都會很早八九點的時候被服務員叫醒 第一天是敲門 哐哐哐兩人都在睡覺的時候 説不需要打掃later later根本不管用打開門西班牙語説話很快也根本聽不懂 反正讓他她走 貌似一會兒又敲門了 很影響休息 第二天是熟睡的兩人九點多被客房電話吵醒。。接聽了對面沒聲兒 兩天啊都是被吵醒的 downtown很多酒店還有Loretto也很漂亮總之沒必要必須選這家為了地理位置什麼的 好氣啊 馬桶正常用一下就堵了 第一天打掃衞生沒有換毛巾 第二晚沒得用 房間裏沒有提供瓶裝礦泉水 甚至前台都沒有?!!!

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.

Beautiful hotel with many Southwest pictures and other artifacts. Service was outstanding. Lot's of history associated with the hotel. One cannot get a better location in Santa Fe - everything is close by.

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 *******, 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 ******* 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 ******* customers are still appreciated.
******* needs to pay attention to this market trend and ensure its customers are treated as well as we were in this exceptional instance.

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.

Great hotel - wonderfully historic with art & sculpture everywhere. Only downsides were staff - some great but others cold and unwelcoming - and lack of wifi in some areas (ie. complete lack of wi-fi in our room).
