A SUPER stay!

The front desk staff was helpful. I had some health issues, and a staff member called the local public health clinic to make an appointment. I felt very supported, and I will be forever grateful. The breakfast was AMAZING!!!
My room didn't have a lot of natural light, and my window faced into another room when I opened the curtains.

i frequently travel. the staff was friendly and accommodating. i received excellent service throughout my stay. i liked that the location was very close to the ocean and the camino, so i could easily explore the area after my camino walk. also, i made use of the quick and reasonably priced laundry services, and my clothes arrived in a basket like a gift.
the walls in my room seemed thin, i could hear some noise from neighboring rooms.
