Pretty and white, with balconies and Spanish-tile roofs, the Hacienda is in a quiet part of Old Town, away from the freeway and the main retail bustle. The layout is somewhat confusing, and accommodations are not large enough to earn the "suite" label the hotel gives them, but they're decorated in tasteful Southwestern style and are well equipped.

false advertising; extortion

This hotel has a good location and a nice look. Be forewarned, though, it's on a steep hillside, and there are many, many stairs to navigate.
The worst part is the blatant false advertising. Two cases: first, my room was advertised as a "suite", when in fact any normal person would call it a single room. True, there was a half-height partition that separated a tiny area just big enough for a chair and table, but since when does that constitute a "suite".
Worse is the $5/day "resort fee" the hotel extorts from everybody. I call it extortion because it does not appear anywhere when you make the reservation (and I booked through Best Western's own website), but only when you arrive are you told about it. The reason given for the fee is pathetic, but that's beside the point. It's false advertising for the hotel to agree to a reservation at a specified rate and then add charges when you arrive and when you really have little choice but to accept them.

Lovely palm filled hotel
Posted by Jason from marin on 4/6/06
I love how this is an open hotel with different levels. It is right on the main drag of old town, yet on a hill so it's set back. There are palms every where, and outside each room is a table and chairs. Fantastic spot if in old town.
