Check in was smooth and the front desk was very nice. The room appeared clean. The next morning we found a roach in our room. We told the front desk immediately and he really didn’t care. He did offer an apology or an explanation on what they would do to clean the room further. We checked out that day. There is a lot of homeless downtown. I used the public tested near the cafe and there was a homeless person washing up in there. She was friendly but it isn’t really something I would expect when staying at a hotel. We will not be staying there again.

My wife and I only had 1 night in Santa Fe, were seeing a show at the Lensic. But the La Fonda was perfect in terms of location to the old plaza, shops, restaurants, etc. Would definitely stay there again.

We have stayed many times at La Fonda and usually were in the newer part. This time we were in room 272 in the older part, the room felt really dated and like it needed some updating in terms of the shower head (awful), the furnishings (nothing special), the carpet (stained). For the money, the rooms really need to be much more in line with the newer rooms there.
