Overall score3.0/ 5
The hotel is dated and restaurant was okay. We stayed during the off season, which could explain our experience. The location was the perfect spot and the history was intriguing.

Overall score4.0/ 5
La Fonda is always our first choice whenever we stay in Santa Fe. They rate at the top fro comfort, service and location. Our only detraction this particular trip involved room service. To be sure we received breakfast room service at the desired morning time we ordered the night before. When time approached 15 minutes late we called for status only to be told they had no record of our order. We decided to make other arrangements After a few minutes the staff called our room to tell us they had "found" our order and it would be to us in a few minutes. As we were on a tight schedule this particular trip a late meal is what we wanted to avoid. While this is not typical of La Fonda it does present room for improvement in the future.

Overall score5.0/ 5
My husband and I stayed for one night on our way from Scottsdale to Denver. It was the first day of reopening after CO VID 19. The hotel did an outstanding job of social distancing efforts. Everyone wore a mask, the employees were all very gracious. We had dinner at their main restaurant and felt very comfortable. The food was outstanding and the staff was excellent. We wish we could have stayed longer. We will definitely be back when circumstances allow us more freedom to explore the art galleries. La Fonda went above and beyond what we expected!
