    Our suite had some steps (2) between areas. They could be marked better to help folks avoid trouble.

    Very quaint spanish details like tile and walkways. Lovely perks like breakfast pastries and good coffee, evening wine bar. Easy parking. Excellent beds and well-appointed rooms.

    Nothing. We love it.

    Location is close to the beach and great restaurants. The room was perfect for our family of 3, with kitchen, fridge, and other features. Croissants for breakfast, chocolate croissants, cereal, bread, and more. Good coffee and a comfortable space at the breakfast tables in the Lobby. The staff in the Lobby was friendly and helpful. We loved it.

    The carpet in rooms seemed a bit dated. There is a sulfuric smell in rooms but this is common in this area of SB. The pool area could use a few more lounge chairs.

    The property is inviting w/ its lovely entrance & Spanish flair. The staff was very kind & accommodating. It was lovely to have bikes to ride, free parking & happy hour. The breakfast was nice also. The room was a good size compared to some hotels in the area.

    Nothing! It was a great stay.

    We loved our stay here! From the comfortable beds and welcome bubbly chilling in our room, to the spacious hot tub and well taken care of public areas, to the kind staff and easy check-in, it was all perfect. The continental breakfast (pastries, oatmeal, fresh fruit, cereals, mini quiches, juice,etc.) was delicious and we enjoyed the complimentary wine and cheese in the evenings. The hotel is close to the beach and harbor and also a short walk to downtown and the Funk Zone. We went car-free and walked almost everywhere (there’s also a bus stop nearby which we appreciated - we took the bus to and from the airport with ease).

    Hard to complain since they upgraded me to an extra large suite. I mean I guess if I had to pick something I would say that maybe the decoration in this particular room was a bit dated and could use some upgrading but again, it’s hard to complain when you’re in such a large room as big as a full apartment with a kitchen and full appliances.

    The breakfast was amazing, especially the mini quiche. They had many choices from cereal to pastries, fruit, and eggs. I’m a Cookie Monster so any place that has free cookies automatically gets bonus points. I felt like I ate 23 cookies but it was probably closer to 12. The location was decent. Not on the beach but a 5 or 10 minute walk up the street will get you there. Also, happy hour was awesome, free wine and cheese and crackers. Perfect for a pre-dinner snack, and also free bike rentals….Need I say more? Lastly, the staff was next level customer service. Everyone was so nice at all hours of the day/night, especially the homey Diego

    we would have loved to have a grill outside on the patio area. also we would have loved to enjoy the hot tub inside the room, but the tub it self was not very clean.

    We enjoyed every part of our stay, the room was amazing, the whole hotel was beautiful on the outside as well.
