Hotel Calle Joaquin

10/10 Excellent
"Amazing, helpful staff (the lady checking us in had a list of restaurants in the area she was happy to print out for us!). Clean spacious room, first floor has their own sliding patio doors. Pool/hot tub area is very nice and the hotel is in good location. Surprisingly NOT a lot of noise from the freeway! Would stay here again!!"
