Comfy
Just a comfy place to get away for the night. Only issue was a huge bed bug or roach on my bed. Tried to kill it but sucker was too quick and took off under the mattress. But my room was cozy aside the bug.

Quintessential historic Taos!
Quaint, quiet, nothing fancy but quintessential Taos and the only hotel on the historic plaza. Great lobby coffee shop and you can walk to everything. She has great character and charm.

Tired and dated
Hotel La Fonda is a venerable historic destination that deserves better care. The room was cluttered and lacked comfort, there was a large dorm size fridge plopped on a table that rattled through the night, and the walls were so thin I could here people coughing and snoring in both rooms adjacent to mine. Worst of all it lacked style, was as tacky as a five and dime and didn’t reflect the charm or detail of other New Mexican hotels. In need of a complete overhaul and not worthy of a 4 star rating.

This was a very interesting hotel! There are so many little personal touches. I did not like all the steps, however. Our room was at the bottom of a 4 step walk down. I wear a fitted knee brace and use a walker all the time, so it was a bit challenging for me. The bathroom at this hotel also had a little step-up to get into the bathroom. We stayed 2 nights at this hotel and it was very comfortable when we couldn’t hear talking or loud music through the walls. Our room was on the 2nd floor and we faced the hotel’s parking lot. We’ve been to Taos before, so we basically knew what the ambiance of the Plaza would be! It was really “hopping” on the Friday night of our stay. Lots of vendors and music going on in the Plaza. But on Saturday, many of the shops were closed. The owner of the restaurant where we ate told us that many of the businesses have closed or are on limited hours because of the effects of COVID. It’s sad because it’s not what we remembered from many years ago (sometime in the 90s). The shops that were open need refurbishment pretty badly, and the little alleys between buildings is really run down. But all of this didn’t stop us from having an enjoyable stay!
