Excellent location on the plaza. Easy to walk to stores and restaurants. The hotel was clean, but dated. Our room was small. It was like staying in someone's guest room. Due to their prime location, I wish the hotel would remodel rooms and even combine some rooms to make them larger. Coffee shop in the hotel was nice amenity. Parking was convenient and we enjoyed our stay in Taos.

So I’ll start with the positive, I’ve stayed in several historical hotels in San Antonio, Austin, Manatou Springs, and La Fonda is definitely historic. That being said, our room had holes in the wall and obvious patches on others with no evidence of new paint. I had booked a suite (bedroom and sitting room), but got a two bedroom room with no sitting area. If it had been any other weekend (Feista), I would have refused the room. The staff was cordial, very limited amenities, but wonderful location right on the square. If I go back to Taos, I will search for other accommodations.

The property was old but the room was nice enough. A little smaller than anticipated. The huge drawback was the noise from the plaza. And I dont mean from normal shopping traffic. The first night we were there (Friday) was terrible. Young people (ages 17-25) started to congregate as the sun went down. By 10pm the whole plaza was full of parked cars and kids hanging out, playing loud music and racing their loud vehicles around the plaza square. It was so loud, we tried to keep the TV volume up enough to drown out the noise and sleep. It didnt stop until around 2am. The next night (Saturday) kids did not congregate in the plaza, but the loud cruising and speeding through the plaza started around 11. And noise of these cars was going on all around the plaza area. It was surprising that nothing was done about the disruptiveness that first night. We have stayed in 5 different hotels in Taos, and there are nicer ones that are quiet for a similar price. We will not stay here again. It is not worth the noise. Just beware if you choose to stay here.

This was our third time staying here. The location on the Taos Plaza is great. You can walk to many galleries and restaurants. There's an attractive lobby and a coffee shop on site. There's a parking lot in back, which is quite convenient. We felt our room during this stay was not up to parr with the previous stays. Could definitely use some carpet cleaning or replacement. The room was fairly clean but not spotless.

Great old hotel with a whole lot of character in a spectacular location. That said, it is an old hotel so expectations should be adjusted. You may see water stains on the ceiling, doors may squeak, bathroom vanities are non-existent, and walls are thin. It could stand some renovation but, regardless, we always enjoy our stays here.

We go to Taos every 4th of July. This was our first stay at the La Fonda. Hotel was clean and convenient. The only negative was the noise level. A lot of teens parked on the square blasting music and revving their car engines. It echoes down the alley and right into our room. They quit about midnight.

The location of this place is excellent. Loved the coffee shop attached to it. It is a beautiful historic place, clean and comfortable. My only complaint is that although it does have an elevator to the upper floor, you have to navigate up or down 4 or 5 steps to get to your room. For elderly people with luggage it can be a challenge.

This historic hotel was comfortable and situated in the middle of the \"old town\". You are immersed in the southwest adobe style. It is fun to walk around the many great shops and restaurants. I bought a beautiful new purse, a dress, several tops and a cool crow sculpture. You can find quality items at reasonable prices. We had dinner at Lamberts and breakfast at the Bent Street Grill. The room was small but bed was comfortable. I did hear some cars revving their engines around midnight (which I had read on other reviews before I booked) but it did not last long. There is an easy parking lot behind the hotel for $10 per night. I would stay here again.

The building itself is old and historic but well maintained and holds individualistic charm. The only drawbacks are that there was no hot water on occasion and it was loud at night, despite us being in the “quietest rooms”.

This building & hotel is 200 yrs old which makes it fun and interesting. Definitely an earlier era shows up here. Rather fun. However, if you’re looking for a fancy & new, bright, shiny hotel this isn’t it. The rooms are small but adequate, and clean; but a bit dated and could be upgraded even within the old theme. The hotel was very quiet; but the typical AC/fridge noise required some ear plugs. There are no meals served; but, it’s very easy to get food in Taos! The front desk staff was very knowledgeable about places to eat & visit. Parking was easy too. We’d definitely go back, as it’s a fun history lesson and requires you to slow down! Very easy to access good food, lots of galleries & shops around the plaza. If you want authentic this would be the place to stay!
