There’s fancier options in Taos, but to stay on the Plaza is an iconic experience, even for those of us who are from New Mexico. The rooms are small as one might expect from a historical property, but well appointed and comfortable. The lobby and guest lounge are classic Land of Enchantment, and it’s super easy to walk and shop/eat/drink from the La Fonda. For a quick getaway, it’s a perfect spot.

Rarely do I say I would not recommend a property but this hotel was a disappointment. While it was clean it was old. I booked a two room suite because I thought i would be able to watch tv while the other person slept, there was only one chair in the two rooms and that was for the desk. You had to go up a step to enter bathroom and that is a hazard.
