Rude desk manager. Wall with patched spot and no paint. (I saved the photo for proof) Light out in the ceiling. Out dated decor. Place is in need of renovation for sure. Had to switch hotels and not stay the nights reserved. My costs were fully refunded and I appreciate that the manager did that.

the room was way old and outdated. A separate tv sitting room had carpet that looked 20 years old, there was one old chair with no arms that had to be about 20 years old, and 2 metal chairs. Not at all the quality we expected from photos on the site. A rating of excellent? Really? We sacrificed the prepaid price and chose to go to another motel.

Located right on the central plaza of Taos. There are a lot of shopping and dining options available. Room was old fashioned in the style of 1920's western, but clean and comfortable. Staff is friendly and hotel has nice lobby.

The hotel is old and in need of repair, with creaky floor and chipped old furnishings. Very drab. Parking lot is not secured and it cost extra. TV remote did not work. The hotel is not handicapped friendly. There was a step up to get to the bathroom, which could be a trip hazard. The ratings and reviews of this hotel were very misleading.

It’s historic I’d opt for less historic next time

La Fonda is the anchor for the plaza. There’s food and shopping literally outside the door. Unfortunately, they’re rebuilding the pergola in the plaza right now. So it’s noisy and unsightly. Has to be done, I guess. Parking is $10 a day. The room was adequate and somewhat modern. Access to filtered water sure would be nice. There’s a coffee maker in the room. Supply your own water. The guy at the front desk may have been new. He had some difficulties. The front desk man at night was more helpful.
