Delicious Dining

The brunch we had at La Plazuela was a highlight of our stay. The eggs were cooked to perfection and the atmosphere was lovely, enhancing our dining experience tremendously.

Cozy Fireplaces

We thoroughly enjoyed the kiva fireplace in our room. It added a cozy charm to our stay, and having the fire crackling while it snowed outside was truly magical.

8.0/10

Although my room only had one chair and dim lighting, the view of the mountains from the 5th floor was lovely. However, the rollaway bed was not as comfortable as I had hoped, especially considering the price paid for the room at La Fonda on New Year's Eve. The service was top-notch and very accommodating, even helping me with directions around town. The location, despite needing a facelift, was fabulous, right near the square and within walking distance to various attractions. As for dining, the beautiful atrium setting was a nice touch, but I wished breakfast started earlier. Overall, an excellent stay with some minor room and bedding issues.

The room had dim lighting with a gas-burning fireplace and faced an inner courtyard with a covered pool. The views of the mountains from the 5th floor were fantastic, but the rollaway bed was not very comfortable given the price paid.

The rooms were top-notch, albeit a bit pricier than other nearby options. The service was exceptional, with a personal touch in every interaction. The dining experience was delightful, especially the coffee at the French Crepery. Overall, a great value for the money spent.
