“La Fonda's split”

La Fonda on the Plaza is an excellent characterful stay — a perfect Santa Fe location, first-class exterior and interiors, great decor with appreciated support for unique art, souvenir water kettles, a clean bathroom, and great staff. Caveats though are significant: a severe report describes early-morning wake-ups on both days — knocking that ignored a 'later' plea and a dead-air room phone — plus a toilet that clogged from normal use, towels never replaced, and no bottled water anywhere; others note an uncomfortable desk chair, little suitcase space, a dark dated room and thin corridor soundproofing.
