I’m Gen X and remember early days of seeing romanticized publications of hacienda, rancherias, zorrow, ranch life, etc. this was like stepping into that era. Though actually old English inspired it give a strong feel of old old farm ranch/winery/missionI felt like zorrow. If you’re into that, gotta try the old suites. I got a balcony suite on the old side and it was being in one of those old paintings/prints. Hotel is historic and older which can show, stay in the balcony suite and let me know if it’s haunted.
