The real draw of this place is its location right by the plaza, the restaurants/bars on site, the historic architecture, and the art. The room was mostly clean and in good condition (some hair in the shower and a burnt out light bulb). I do wish they would do away with those throw pillows- we all know they don't get cleaned, and that guests toss them on the floor... then housekeeping puts them right against the pillows you put your face on. I did have a loud couple fighting in the room next to me the first night. I did call down and they said they'd send someone up to talk to them. However, I didn't hear that. I did hear the couple continue to argue loudly. The walls are thin. Other than that I enjoyed my stay. The staff was friendly and helpful. The pool is small but good for a quick dip. Didn't try the hot tub or the gym. The rooftop bar is nice/convenient but be prepared for a wait- you'll be given a little buzzer device. Get there early if you want to see the sunset. It's not a normal bar where you can just grab a stool. I'd stay here again but might upgrade to a suite.

We can't say enough about how much we loved La Fonda! Location to everything -- we walked everywhere. The restaurant and The Bell Tower were first-rate. The staff was friendly and helpful. Artwork throughout was a treat! The bed was comfortable and the room was perfect. The little hotel shops were enticing and had unique items. The French cafe was chef's kiss. We will stay at La Fonda again and recommend to friends!
