La Fonda on the Plaza
10/10 Excellent
"Beautifully maintained historical site. The staff were knowledgeable about the artwork, the structure. They seemed genuinely happy to be working there. The maintenance staff was helpful, too- friendly and provided good directions. The hotel was a lovely maze of hallways, as it was designed, we’ll be back."
"The main thing about this hotel is the size of the rooms and that they have a real kitchen with a full sized fridge, stove and oven. A great choice for an extended stay. "
