“With its location in the Barrio Escalante entertainment district, this property places you near local dining and cultural sites. I found its blend of vintage charm and modern amenities appealing, especially the private patios and on-site spa packages. While the morning commuter train could be a concern for some, the friendly staff and convenient transportation options are definite advantages.”
