Rooms here feature a balcony with garden views and come with free WiFi and flat-screen cable TV. The private bathrooms come with free toiletries and towels.

Utz Jay was a great choice. It was one of the most comfortable beds. We had room 15 and had our own resident humming bird each morning sat out on the balcony. A lage room with good sized hot shower. All of the staff we met were very pleasant. The breakfast was typical and the two young guys serving breakfast were a delight. The location couldn't have been bettered , only 40m from the main Santander street yet very quiet.  Would definitely recommend  A must to eat is Humaya restaurant/museum great food and interesting free tour of the

    The breakfast was very good, and the service excellent. What I liked the most was that all the employees were wearing the attire from Santa Catarina and were proud to do so, it's high time that this is appeciated, it is a lovely hüipil for the women and tha short pants of the men are beautiful; but it's amazing how designs hae changed during the years.
