Alex helped my wife and me during our stay. He was very kind and truly tried to provide the best service, which made us feel well taken care of. The hotel has a lot of positives. It’s located right in the heart of downtown, so we could easily walk to great restaurants and shopping spots. Also, the room was clean and stylish. The only downside was the noise at night. There’s a club nearby, so it can get a bit loud after midnight. But the hotel provides earplugs, which helped us sleep better.

Location was amazing. We split our vacation in two - 3 nights here for a “city” experience following by 3 nights at a beach hotel. We had so much fun exploring the city. We booked the “ Baja Suite”. Highly recommend paying the little extra for this room. It was very private and roomy. Hotel itself was very relaxed and pretty. Room was cozy and the staff were lovely. There is a spa next door where we had an awesome massage. Would stay again.

Lovely stay

Lovely stay, excellent location in Gallery/historic district. Walk to Art Walk and a multitude of restaurants. Rooms were ready upon early arrival with an offer of a welcome drink. Rooms are industrial in design, beds very comfortable and quality linens. Mezcal bar on site and food and beverage service. Small pool. We really enjoyed the Art Walk and celebrating a family birthday. Would recommend this small hotel.

This is a very nice facility, however beware of the music on the weekends from the bar across the street. The staff will assist you but you must distract them from their phones or computers first. Also be prepared to have your credit card automatically charged for a tip. You will see the charge and then you complete an automatic checkout that will not process without accepting

Beautiful property for a short stay. Rooms are gorgeous, I did however have a room on floor level and unless I closed the curtain everyone could see in, that’s the only window in the room so I didn’t want to close it as the room got very dark being all concrete. That being said we felt a little exposed. Fantastic amenities as well as the service from the staff. stayed here with a 13 month old. I was told Thursday they would have a DJ and I was worried it was going to be loud but it wasn’t. So we were very pleased with that. Pool water is cold but seems it’s that same everywhere we went to in Cabo and Baja. Parking is a bit challenging specially Thursday when the art walk is happening. You have to leave your car about a 5 min walk which is not bad but that’s if you find a spot on the street. Otherwise would have to carry your luggage a bit longer. In order to get to the rooms you have to walk on small rocks so rolling luggage is a no go but the staff will happily assist. Overall an amazing stay! We would recommend if you are looking to discover the beautiful colonial town of San Jose. The mezcal bar is phenomenal and the staff too! Enjoy!

Absolutely lovely hotel, but not for getting a good night's sleep. Even on a Monday night, the extremely loud local music/ club venue raged until 2am. Even though the hotel provided earplugs. It doesn't help.
