The hotel was nice, very boutique and comfortable. We liked hanging out by the pool, loved the food but especially the quesadillas at the hotel bar/restaurant and the Cabo coffee they serve is delicious!! The kitchen staff were super friendly, the rest of the staff can benefit from the same smile and friendly attitude.

Alex helped my wife and me during our stay. He was very kind and truly tried to provide the best service, which made us feel well taken care of. The hotel has a lot of positives. It’s located right in the heart of downtown, so we could easily walk to great restaurants and shopping spots. Also, the room was clean and stylish. The only downside was the noise at night. There’s a club nearby, so it can get a bit loud after midnight. But the hotel provides earplugs, which helped us sleep better.

Small, quaint hotel in the heart of art town. Many restaurants and shops are nearby. Parking was close, but no parking at all at the hotel or on its street. Very large, modern but rustic, nice clean rooms.

Location was amazing. We split our vacation in two - 3 nights here for a “city” experience following by 3 nights at a beach hotel. We had so much fun exploring the city. We booked the “ Baja Suite”. Highly recommend paying the little extra for this room. It was very private and roomy. Hotel itself was very relaxed and pretty. Room was cozy and the staff were lovely. There is a spa next door where we had an awesome massage. Would stay again.

Very intimate and beautiful location right in the center of El Centro and the hotel blew us out of the water. Extremely clean room, friendly staff and extremely accommodating. Felt like a hidway from the breaches and felt close with all the locals. Recommend 10/10

Lovely stay

Lovely stay, excellent location in Gallery/historic district. Walk to Art Walk and a multitude of restaurants. Rooms were ready upon early arrival with an offer of a welcome drink. Rooms are industrial in design, beds very comfortable and quality linens. Mezcal bar on site and food and beverage service. Small pool. We really enjoyed the Art Walk and celebrating a family birthday. Would recommend this small hotel.

This is a very nice facility, however beware of the music on the weekends from the bar across the street. The staff will assist you but you must distract them from their phones or computers first. Also be prepared to have your credit card automatically charged for a tip. You will see the charge and then you complete an automatic checkout that will not process without accepting
