Fodor's Review:

This mansion is simply stunning. Tastefully selected folk art, handsome hand-carved furniture, and gilded wall trimmings complement patios and splashing fountains. Each of the one- and two-bedroom suites are named after an artist and decorated with paintings in that artist's style. The hotel's Mexican restaurant is named after its huge floor-to-ceiling Arbol de la Vida (Tree of Life) sculpture. The hotel is owned by Lolita Ayala, a prominent journalist who knows how difficult a peaceful stay can be for public personalities. As you might imagine at such a small and exclusive hotel, with advance notice the restaurant can prepare any plate visitors would like. Pros: The suites have full kitchens, CD player, VCR, high-speed Internet, and hot tub. Cons: Not all staff speaks English, views aren't great.

This is not a good hotel, it is a simple house re-done with too much cheap art,and ugly baths, that look like a boat toilets, plastics one, those bath that are use in cabin or trailer. The art is extremely heavy and there is no feeing of service at all.
