Nice little hotel in a great location. The restaurant connected to the place is very good too, wonderful breakfast. Pretty much everything in town is in walking distance with the very unique Soda Rodriguez and a delicious steakhouse a block away. Pool was clean and refreshing. I’d stay her again!

The room was clean, and they changed towels daily. The restaurant next door had amazing food with lots of gluten-free options, and they gave you a 10% discount if you were a hotel guest. The hotel is also just 15 minutes from the volcano lookout hike.
