The hotel is beautiful and central to Old Town. There was a guided tour explaining the history of the Inn as well as show casing the beautiful artwork throughout. The staff were friendly and the restaurants were excellent.

Check in was smooth and the front desk was very nice. The room appeared clean. The next morning we found a roach in our room. We told the front desk immediately and he really didn’t care. He did offer an apology or an explanation on what they would do to clean the room further. We checked out that day. There is a lot of homeless downtown. I used the public tested near the cafe and there was a homeless person washing up in there. She was friendly but it isn’t really something I would expect when staying at a hotel. We will not be staying there again.

My wife and I only had 1 night in Santa Fe, were seeing a show at the Lensic. But the La Fonda was perfect in terms of location to the old plaza, shops, restaurants, etc. Would definitely stay there again.

We have stayed many times at La Fonda and usually were in the newer part. This time we were in room 272 in the older part, the room felt really dated and like it needed some updating in terms of the shower head (awful), the furnishings (nothing special), the carpet (stained). For the money, the rooms really need to be much more in line with the newer rooms there.

It was for 1 night. Clean room. Had to go down to lobby for 3 keys before my door would open. Disappointed with the price when they can’t activate your key correctly and do some research in the fact that parking is $30 for 24 hours. We stayed approximately 18 hours and charged $30 for a full day. It is old, so expect small rooms and small bathrooms. Not a roomy experience but it is right off the plaza and walking distance to great shops. The restaurant is good and plenty to eat around the Plaza. If you have a car, I would recommend somewhere else to stay for the price.

A We stayed in suite 102 and the room was charming. I loved the arch entrance to the seating area. The bed was comfy. A nice tile shower with hot water. The location was convenient to the Plaza where we walked all around. We enjoyed dining, shopping, live music, and art in the hotel.

Wonderful hotel

La Gonda is a unique, beautiful, classy hotel. We loved the artwork and furniture. The staff were friendly and helpful. We ate at the restaurant several times and enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. Our only suggestion would be to improve the heating in the room because the small alcove with a table and couch was not well heated.
