Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We loved the ambience of the hotel. Our room was clean and had all amenties expected. Upon arrival, we were placed in a double instead of a queen, however, they were very apologetic and gave us a $50 credit towards the room, to which I used at the Spa. The Spa was amazing! The restaurant was yummy and everything wa sin walking distance. Eat at Mi Tierra cafe if you get a chance and if you’re looking for a good modern Mexican restaurant and a good margarita visit The Iron Cactus! So yummy!
