This place has that unique old Spanish building quality that is so charming and endemic to California. Gorgeous tile, metalwork, and such. Only drawbacks were somewhat flat, “bag of sand” style pillows on the beds, quite low water pressure in the showers and oddly small toilets. Otherwise very comfortable place with an amazing bakery next door, and very close to restaurants, a beautiful park, and bars and shopping. Also the staff are incredibly cordial, accommodating, and knowledgeable. They let me keep my luggage behind the counter in the lobby after I’d checked out, and the guy behind the bar was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the area.

Heart of the Egg Capital

Historic hotel in the center of a very interesting city. Egg capital of the world, in the day. Our room was on the 5th floor which requires an elevator ride to the 4th floor and schlepping bags up to the 5th. Not a problem for us, but some folks may consider it. Charming lobby with that cool old historic vibe. Restaurants nearby within easy walking distance. No onsite parking, but street parking is free, just beware of the time limits. Reception explained it.

Location!

The location could not be more ideal for exploring downtown and the riverfront. Service was excellent and I had everything I needed for a comfortable stay.

Pretty good.

Small hotel in a great location. Rooms and spaces are a bit dated. Funny smell in the entry courtyard, and lobby which they should probably take care of. Great little coffee shop/bakery off the lobby.
