Top The Mesa Hotel Reviews

The Franciscan Hotel

The Franciscan Hotel

8/10 Good
"We loved the placement of the room. The room was on the 1st floor corner with lots of privacy, and a fountain and garden. You could leave the door open and still feel safe. Lovely The bathroom was clean but there aren't any hooks for robes, or lightly used bath towels. Also, we couldn't get the 'Heat Pump' to work properly, even with having maintenance come and work on it."
