Hotel La Fonda Taos is an excellent historic hotel located on the Plaza so walking distance to museums and restaurants and shops. Rooms were lovely with art work from many of those who are or were Taos based artists with national and/or global recognition. Staff were very helpful with recommendations for local dining. Owner even staffed at the front desk on occasion. Wonderful place to stay. Thoroughly enjoyable.

The hotel has an excellent location and ample parking, but it is an old hotel and your expectations should acknowledge that.

Expedia, this property has been constantly misinformed about the room layout. The property has informed that they have repeatly trying to tell you, there is no two rooms (One king and One queen) when you advertise it on your website. When I checked in on Sunday (5/15), no room existed. Very disappointed in Expedia. Would like to request a Full-refund since I booked it threw your 3rd party website. The staff informed me.
