It’s cozy and really has the island vibe around it. Locals are friendly and getting a taxi was so easy. Coke machine doesn’t work so don’t put money into it. Room is older but clean. Most Imporantly!!! THE MATTRESS WAS SOFT and comfortable 😃

Our check in didn't come over from hotels.com, but the staff made up for it - able to accommodate us last minute in a way that worked for us (or offer to find another room at another hotel). Up the hill a little bit - amazingly quiet.

If you like self service. This is the place “Front desk” is a tiny booth theoretically open from 9-6 but reality is you have to call their cel phone Don’t sleep in or you won’t get your room cleaned. No soap in shower but you can use shampoo for hand soap. Clerk was nice when we called him. Need strong wrists to turn off shower or else bring a pipe wrench. AC was full blast or turned into heater

It was a perfect spot that kept you close to downtown and walkable to everything but was tucked up away on the hill where it was still quiet to go home to. That being said, if you do not wish to use the public transportation to go back home be prepared to walk up the hill it is a little steep. The hotel was nice and cozy it had a comfy bed, great AC and water pressure. The wifi was also strong and steady. Our unit was upstairs; it was not one of the ones with the kitchen in it, however, we did have a mini fridge and a microwave and that was still super helpful as we were still able to get some groceries from the local Vons. We would stay here again as the price point was excellent for the amenities we had l.

We enjoyed our stay at El Terrado. We did realize there is more room than planned - 2 bedrooms upstairs and a bed downstairs in family room near kitchen. Rooms were clean & comfortable. Sadly there is no WiFi or connection upstairs for anything. WiFi is only downstairs. - note there is a good hill to walk - that will get your steps in - bring walking shoes!

If you are looking for a luxury hotel this is not the place. Unfortunately our stay was not worth the price due to one of the showers not working and unable to run both of the upstairs a/c’s without the breaker tripping. The room was very dusty and not very clean. Everything was very run down. Although it was not in the best condition our family made the best of our trip and we did enjoy the location of the hotel although you do have a big hill to walk up. Also the beds were pretty comfortable and the housekeeper was helpful. The tv options were a nice accommodation as well. If you are comfortable with a more of a hole in the wall beach hotel this is your place.
