Stayed here before doing some hiking nearby. 24 hour front desk was great for my late arrival. They didnt charge me for parking, which was a nice surprise. The hotel itself was very unique and interesting, although I didn't have much time to check it out. My room had tons of space and the bed was comfy. Would definitely love to stay here again when I wasn't so pressed for time.

We loved our stay at Hotel La Fonda! Such a cute and quaint place. Room was so cute. Over 200 year old building. Very cool to stay there. The staff was so helpful and gave a great suggestion for dinner! A local cantina with great food and drinks. Later the cantina had an open mic and the talent was great!! So enjoyable. Thank you!!

It is a very old Hotel that needs constant updating. However, We loved the character and uniqueness of it and great location. Staff was excellent and they have a unique Art collection by DH Williamson, set aside for your review upon request. I recommend this unique and fun Hotel when in the area and want to stay on the plaza in Taos. I stay at this Hotel again.
