From 7am till checkout at this property there was horrendous noise issues. The housekeeping storage was right across from our room. They had no regard for guests as far as sound goes for 3 hours. They were also doing construction on the rooftop bar. Waking guests up at 7am. Completely unacceptable. Was only comped for parking, which costs $30. Should’ve been free. Would never recommend this hotel to anyone.

Lovely experience. Live music in the bar was great. Charm and history of the facility is major plus. Disappointed there were no streaming channels on television. Pillows less than ideal.

The bed was comfortable, but too big for the old-sized room; it was cramped trying to get to the window side of the bed. Unfortunately, the shower was not fun: inadequate water pressure and cold due to the modern 1/2 enclosed design. Give me an old fashioned shower curtain (and there wouldn’t be water on the floor, either). The hotel is beautiful and fabulously located. We enjoyed our stay

La Fonda is a fabulous historic hotel that has been tastefully updated but still retains much of the Sante Fe flavor! And we loved the art!

An old standard. We couldn’t have stayed there, if not for Expedia (booking directly was more expensive and restrictive). It’s a historic property in the best possible location. It was very crowded on the night we were there (between Christmas and New Year’s), but they managed it well. Great breakfast in the restaurant.
