Meeting Planning Experiences at La Fonda. The Community Food Security Coalition recently held a two day event at the La Fonda Hotel on February 18th and 19th. I'm very happy to say that, in planning the meals and determining room reservations, both the convention services manager and the sales manager assigned to our event were always available to walk through the hotel, review menus, and discuss any related details. They were very professional, courteous, and a pleasure to work with. The catering staff also did an excellent job and was very attentive during the meetings, making sure we were well provided for with food and beverages. It was a pleasure working with your staff in the planning process, and during the event itself, everything went very smoothly - without a hitch. In my profession, I've worked with numerous hotels around the country, and La Fonda is certainly at the top of the list for its service and hospitality. Thank you very much for helping to make our experience a pleasant one. We will certainly return to La Fonda when meeting schedules allow. Community Food Security Coalition February, 2008. I cant express my gratitude enough for all the attention and care given us by your entire staff. Ive been to a number of conventions (some at very posh venues), and I have never seen a conference hotel run as smoothly and efficiently, nor one that matched your high catering standards. Nor general courtesy as warmly focused as at La Fonda. Please convey my thanks to everyone involved and dont hesitate to use me as a reference for any potential conferences especially academic ones at La Fonda. Steven Block, Chair of the Department of Music at the University of New Mexico and Local Arrangements Chair for 2007 Meeting of the National Association of Music Executives at State Universities (NAMESU). I wanted to thank you all for your very kind assistance throughout the planning process and on site. I can honestly say that you all are THE BEST hotel folks with whom Ive had the pleasure of working with over the past 16 years in this business. Director, Continuing Medical Education, University of Vermont. I wish I could have stayed on in Santa Fe everyone certainly made us feel welcome!! Everything went so smoothly and we were extremely pleased on how well the course went. Many thanks to La Fonda for all your hard work and for being such a pleasure to work with!! Program Manager, University of New Mexico, Update and Review of Internal Medicine. Our meeting was a great success, due in no small part to your many kindnesses and top-notch staff. From the meeting room, to the food, to the guest rooms, we heard nothing but praise and experienced the highest level of customer service from all staff that we have ever experienced. And your unfailing professionalism and friendliness when dealing with last minute changes were very much appreciated. Claire McCardell, CPA, Director of Finance Administration, National Register of Health Service Providers in Psychology, Board of Directors Meeting. As a meeting and event planner, I have had the pleasure to work with the sales and convention services staff at La Fonda on many occasions. I have always felt as though my event was the most important one on your calendar, from my first contact to the closing day. I have found your staff to be professional and capable, and well aware of the requirements for our meetings. The La Fonda sales and convention services managers consistently provide sound recommendations for optimal meeting room set up, audio visual needs and sleeping room arrangements for our meetings. Additionally, your catering staff is exceptional to work with and meals at La Fonda are a delight. I appreciate the service, dedication and capabilities of the La Fonda staff and so do my guests. Meeting Planner, Los Alamos National Laboratory. Thank you so much for all you did to make our senior managers retreat at La Fonda a huge success! Everything was perfect the service was excellent, the employees were very responsive to our requests, the food at the catered event and in the restaurant was delicious, and the meeting rooms really fit our needs. I knew the hotel was in an excellent and convenient location, but I was thrilled with the way you executed all of our plans. There wasnt anything that I would have changed. Thank you so much, and we will definitely consider returning. Retreat Organizer, BWXT Pantex
