Hotel Suites La Siesta
Huge room. Great location. Charming Mexican style from the 70’s. View is spectacular. The restaurant was excellent for dinner….had Caesar salad prepared at our table and dinners flamed right in front of us. Kind of retro stylish charm. Definitely dated, but in a good way. Not for you if you want ...
