La Fonda on the Plaza
Perfect location on the Plaza. Beautiful hotel with a true taste of the Santa Fe culture. Nice amenities and love the rooftop for sunset cocktails. Rooms were ok. Cool decor and appreciated the Nespresso and refrigerator. I didn't eat at the restaurant but it was always busy. Would return to stay ...
