Stayed here during the holidays. The location and reviews were the main reason to book this hotel. I wasn’t disappointed. They have a covered parking area restricted to hotel guests which includes charging stations. There is additional open parking. The staff was very friendly and the hotel looks beautiful with its Spanish style architecture. They have some limited items for breakfast, like bagels, muffins, protein bars, juice, yogurt etc. Will definitely plan on staying here again.

Th$e room was clean but spartan. The outside patio was very cute. The pillows were small. The soap and lotion dispensers felt restroom-y, not nice hotel. The free breakfast and coffee was very nice. If I were paying less than $250 a night, I would be giving it a higher rating. But for that room rate you could provide a couple of real glasses, not just paper cups, and some decent pillows.

This place was very thoughtfully designed. GREAT lighting. PLENTY of electrical outlets. Bathroom was well laid out with lots of area for your 'stuff.' I have to issues: the doors are SOOOOO heavy that any time a guest closes the door, the entire building feels like it's rumbling and there's an earthquake. The other is no option for streaming channels. Hard to believe. Easy parking. Still, I recommend this place.
