My first time here but I'll be back! Excellent location with easy parking (hard to find for Santa Fe). Dog friendly (my standard poodle Nero was a hit with staff and other guests). My son and I ate in the lobby bar and had excellent food and the best Margarita I've ever had. Highly recommended place to stay!

Expedia needs to make it plainer about the $30/day parking fee. Had we known, we would have not chosen this property. And La Fonda rents out parking spaces to non-guests. We left the parking deck to go out to Bandelier only to find no parking available when we returned. We circled the deck waiting for someone to leave. A space opened up, but unfortunately our car was damaged as we tried to squeeze beside a pole. We now have a $2000 bill to repair our car. The staff was not very sympathetic. There was nowhere nearby to park because of an event on the plaza, so we left a night early. The least that could be done is to refund the night we left early. A hotel with onsite parking should not rent out spaces to non-guests leaving the paying guests with nowhere to park.
