"We spent two nights at Estero Inn and very much enjoyed our relaxing stay. The Inn is very clean and right on the water, next to a Sailing School. We enjoyed watching the youth in their sail boats learning how to sail. It is very close to shopping and restaurants but separate enough that it was very quiet. And I love that is has a Tesla charger!"

Top The Giant Chessboard Hotel Reviews

La Serena Inn

La Serena Inn

8/10 Good
"The hotel was nice, the shower is small, but the water was hot so that’s a plus. We locked ourselves out first night. No one is working after 9pm, so we had to call the emergency number they posted. The lady arrived fairly quick to let us in our room. However, we felt it was odd she didn’t confirm who we were and if it was really our room before letting us in. The WiFi is shotty, and the AC, didn’t work, not that we needed it but we like a cold room."
