White Caps Motel

White Caps Motel

8/10 Good
"The property is delightful. It is well maintained, the bedding is lush, the bathroom amenities are adequate, and the small, faux antique 'frig was too cute! The only reason(s) it didn't get 5 stars is that there are no blackout curtains and the battery in the wall clock needed replacing. Not fatal. I would go back!"

Hotel San Buena

Hotel San Buena

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel was a very pleasant surprise. The entire property was extremely clean and the room had tons of character, really no comparison to a standard hotel room even in a luxury name brand hotel. The staff was helpful and friendly every time we interacted with them. Only area of improvement would be more storage in the rooms. The gated on-property parking below the hotel is a great amenity. Location is terrific with shopping and restaurants within block and easy to walk."
