Nice downtown location
The staff was excellent. We had a wedding to attend at The Barns at Cooper Molera, which is a pleasant 4 min walk. It is super close to restaurants & other popular locations. Overnight parking is available across the street at the parking garage (no charge for Sunday and Monday). It's a nice historical hotel that could use some updating, but the room was clean overall. The walls are thin; we literally heard our neighbor's entire conversation at 7 am. If you are a light sleeper like myself, I would not suggest having a room on Alvarado St. (the main street). The windows in the hotel room are thin! You will hear every car, motorcycle, people's conversation, and so on. Especially with a bar up that street. We would book again but in a room location with less outside noise.
