Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The room was really cool. We stayed in the motel section and not the main building. Clean and comfortable. Neat history. On site restaurant and bar. If I had a complaint it would be the 4 drink minimum at the bar. My wife weighs half a much as I do. I'm still legally below the Limit after 4 drinks while she would not be. Plus we aren't driving anywhere. It would also be nice to have an ice machine in the annex. 25° is too cold to walk all the way over to the main building to just get ice.

Floor was dirty, water bottle, paper & crumbs. Could almost wash hands while sitting on the toilet. No microwave or refrigerator. The history was interesting and the over all hotel was nice. Just the room that was very disappointing!

Immaculate room, comfy beds, iconic location with rich history and charismatic architecture. Be sure to open your window at night; the HVAC system is insanely hot. Breakfast in the Andalucia room was spectacular. Go for the chilaquiles!
Fantastic lobby!
