I looked forward to staying at the La Fonda! But unfortunately some of the staff was pretty snotty. They made me fell less than. I was really hurt about that. Just because i didn't wear fancy cloths or my family was a problem.. how rude... and these were young workers and don't need to be treated less than. I will never stay here ever. To expensive to be treated less than. This was supposed to be a treat for my family and i was very disappointed 😞

Our stay and experience at La Fonda, was nothing but bad. For starters, the staff is very rude, snobby, and not friendly at all. When we first arrived, the valet guy was very disrespectful, the servers in the restaurant were very rude and the office staff, were very rude and cold as well. What we paid and how we got treated was very poor! We considered staying somewhere else due to the service, staff and the coldness the welcoming and the stay was. I will never stay at La Fonda again. For the price that was paid, I will take my business somewhere else. I also would not recommend La Fonda to friends or family. Very snobby and very unwelcoming!

La Fonda has the feel of old Santa Fe, a cozy home away from home. It is right off the Plaza, so very convenient. The restaurant is great for breakfast and dinner. Family friendly...kids in the heated pool in February!

A beautiful iconic hotel, right on the steps of the Santa Fe Plaza! Friendly staff, beautiful rooms, and decor. The bed was comfy room was spacious. The restaurant was inviting and the food delicious I would recommend this hotel for adults as it seemed more geared for adults as opposed to family oriented.

This was the first time traveling for Christmas as empty nesters. We were a bit concerned about how it would go. Turned out to be a needless worry. The hotel was festive and charming- and loaded with other empty nesters or others traveling with their families. The hotel staff were simply lovely, greeting us with smiles and Merry Christmas. Santa Fe itself was wonderful, with lots of beautiful things to do and see, and some of the friendliest people on the planet. Evidently, The La Fonda is THE place to be for Christmas- as it was bustling and inviting. Sure beat being by ourselves for the holiday!
