My stay at La Fonda On The Plaza was quite nice. The hotel exudes old-world charm, blending Southwest and Art Deco styles beautifully. The location can't be beaten-right by the plaza, making it easy to explore Santa Fe. However, the rooms were smaller than expected, and I had to settle for an interior view, which was a bit disappointing in such a scenic area.
