Three discoveries made this a memorable stay and the best Christmas ever: 1. There was a full kitchen in our room which we were not expecting and that gave us more options during our stay; 2. The location at the end of San Carlos as it begins to wind up the hill meant more solitude and quiet in the busy... more

Am not sure what the other reviewer expected for breakfast, but we simply loved the fresh pastries and fruit. The ladies at the counter (both... more

If you want to "Go back to the future" stay at this hotel. The TV must be 50 years old! more
