Staff was great, clean and perfect location access to the plaza
We will definitely stay here again. Very friendly staff and even though the hotel is historical it is well appointed with modern amenities. The location is right next to the plaza and within walking distance to many shops, restaurants and museums.
The room was lovely, very clean had everything we needed. Every staff member we interacted with was welcoming, helpful, and under standing. We will definitely be back!
Amazing location and delightful staff!! Cool amenities in room like Nespresso machines and your own water bottles upon arrival - some cool shopping on property
We enjoyed our stay at the La Fonda. The hotel is charming. The location is great! Loved walking out the door and being close to several shops and restaurants.
Beautiful property- centrally located to everything. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Was upgraded,for birthday trip and given private terrace suite. Was spectacular! Highly recommend staying here!
Fantastically helpful staff & the ambiance is iconic. Have eaten, dined & shopped at LaFonda many times when we visit family in ABQ, but this was our first stay. We’ll be back!
