We checked out of LaFonda this morning 7/18/2024. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The fact is, the hotel is old and in need of updating. I spent more than $500 of our 1 night stay and it definitely did not meet expectations for a $500/night hotel. The aesthetics are busy, loud and very colorful. Did not feel upscale or peaceful. We won’t return.

Great location
My wife and I stayed 4 nights at La Fonda. The staff was great. Very nice and accommodating. Our stay was fine but the fact is, the hotel is old. It's clean and it's got history and it's in the plaza but that's it. Our room was small, maybe we got an old small room because we had a dog. The bed was hard and the pillows were meh. There's a pool, which is nice, but the pool area is small. Not a lot of chairs to go around. La Fonda is rated as a 4 star hotel, which I feel is a stretch. Other hotels in the area were the same price and looked to be more updated. I get the feeling you're paying for the history and the location at La Fonda. The thing is, the area isn't that large. So if you stay at a hotel not in the plaza, it's not a long walk to anything. It's an average hotel.
