Frommer's Review

This small boutique hotel is infused with old-world charm. Curves and high arches abound. My favorite touch is the winding interior alleyway that snakes down from the reception through the hotel. Most of the rooms here have wonderful views of the Central Valley from private balconies; the others have pleasant garden patios. The rooms are all up to modern resort standards, although some have slightly cramped bathrooms. The suites are considerably larger, each with a separate sitting room with its own television, as well as large Jacuzzi-style tubs (no jets, though) in spacious bathrooms; they're definitely worth the slight splurge. If you opt to rent the entire upper floor, the penthouse becomes a three-bedroom, full-floor extravaganza, with a massive living room and open-air rooftop patio. The hotel's La Luz restaurant is one of the more elegant and creative dining spots in the Central Valley.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; midsize pool; exercise room; Jacuzzi; sauna; concierge; tour desk; secretarial services; limited room service (7am-10pm); in-room massage; laundry service
