Finally got to stay at the LaFonda after decades of wanting to visit. It's been nearly 30 years since I've been through Santa Fe, and this was the first time staying over for a fwe days. One of the highlights was the property tour. You need to sign up ahead of time, but it's certainly worthwhile. We'll definitely come back.

The hotel is lovely and quaint. Housekeeping and front desk very responsive to requests. Only real downsides were (1) the parking garage is very small and our SUV was too tall to drive into it. This limited our parking options, with a $50 overnight lot nearby, another lot with restricted hours, or on-street, which made our stay less relaxing. Also, the shower head in our room was a little wonky and probably needs replacement. Great water pressure, though!

I stayed one night at La Fonda during a recent visit to Santa Fe. I arrived late and was quickly checked in by the front desk staff. The king bed room was comfortable, a decent size but certainly not huge. I was impressed by the modern quality of the bathroom and all the appliances. The hotel swimming pool was a lovely temperature and I enjoyed soaking in the hot tub as well. This is a classic hotel right in the heart of downtown and is full of interesting rooms and spaces as well as a variety of bars and restaurants. Santa Fe has some great hotels and this is definitely one of them.
