La Fonda is a charming hotel and we enjoyed our stay. Our room was clean and bed and pillows were comfortable. We loved the robes and extra toiletries available in the room. The hotel is centrally located to restaurants and shopping. We would definitely stay here again if we return to Santa Fe.

Location is great. Rooms are small. Staff was friendly and helpful. For the price, parking should be free rather than $30/day.

I always enjoy the hotel, the food and the art that is displayed. The breakfast staff was not as attentive as usual. One guest was disciplined by the waiter for joining her friends before her meal was served.
