Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The LiA hotel is conveniently located near the San Carlos city center/walk street…parking in the courtyard is easy and usually available. Those are the good things. The bad things are that the walls are very thin and you can hear your neighbors and the people above you if you’re on ground level. We were there for a week and there was loud music most nights. Probably won’t be back.

I liked everything about the LiA hotel. The proprietors were pleasant and personable. The price was reasonable, especially for the area. The room had a coffee maker, a microwave oven, and a refrigerator. Lots of hot water in the shower. There were many restaurants within a short walk.

The first room I got had a super loud heater (I mean louder than a car engine, it was clearly broke) and the guy at the front gave me a bit of an attitude, but I shut it down quick by telling him "I'm not here to argue. You just give me a different room. And you should've had that fixed before you gave anybody the room". Other than that, it's pretty good. The new room they gave me is fine.

The staff are kind and helpful. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Thought, there was an strong indian incense sticks aroma in the room. The roon window's blind opens to the path way so it can not be leave open without being seen from outside and if you close it, the room becom very dark. Also, this is a motel not a hotel.

Stayed for my son’s football tournament, left at 6am and accidentally left my favorite water bottle. Called 10 times throughout the day and they never answered once!!! I drove back to the hotel when the tournament ended so I could go ask if the housekeeping had found anything in my room and they said nothing was found and they couldn’t (wouldn’t) be able to ask them till the housekeeping came in the next day???

I love this place because the price is right! It’s old, somewhat dumpy, but very inexpensive. I am comfortable (except when it’s garbage day and the trucks in the alley wake me up before 6). But that inconvenience is worth paying $100/night.
