Hotel Esmeralda

I came back for two nights while heading north in January after spending one night here, then kept adding days until I’d stayed six. It’s very comfortable, and the staff are awesome. I also loved the beautiful art and the pool patio. I’d recommend staying a few days to get to know this little town and its people 😀 When I travel through again, this is my go-to place. I might even make it my permanent home 😀

The pool is my favorite part, especially the two-story waterfall, and the restaurant food is very good. You can eat and drink right by the pool. I’ve stayed here twice because the rooms are comfortable and the hotel is nice and affordable. I was confused about the pet charges, though. The front desk said the fees on the booking apps were wrong. During my stay, the actual charge was $150 per pet, per night.

The restaurant was a highlight. I had the camarones de ajo, some of the best I’ve had anywhere. The staff were very friendly, and it’s pet friendly too. The rooms are decent, especially for the price. I arrived late and thought it was just a hotel in a neighborhood, but in the morning I realized it’s about two blocks from the square. I’ll be back!

We ordered from the restaurant and the food was very good and came quickly. The staff were friendly and helpful, and I’d stay here again. Our room was quaint, clean, and smelled fresh. The bathroom was clean too, though the toilet flush handle had one of those deodorizer pads, whose smell I personally hate. The shower had fair pressure and was hot. The murals are beautiful, and the bed was good with several pillows. We had a king bed, which was nice, but the room itself wasn’t any larger. Pets are allowed, and there’s covered, secure parking off the street. I was glad we had GPS getting there. Gas, a grocery store, pharmacy, and bakery are nearby. It’s close to the town square, so you can hear the church bells. There are only a few TV channels, which was fine with me.
