The hotel is nice, staff wonderful. Restaurant is ok. It was very loud at night. Sounded like a nightclub was in building. And the bed was the HARDEST BED EVER. I woke constantly unable to get comfortable because felt like I was laying on a hard floor.

Nice property with garden, pool, restaurant. Very short drive to local dining options and easy freeway access to the airport. Secure free parking just across the street 50 yards. Rooms are quaint with good beds and nice hardwood floors. However, poorly lit rooms are smaller than average, shower water pressure is astonishingly low despite water flow to the faucet - plumbing issue. Bath towels are old. Overall, good hotel, but these small details prevent from taking it up a notch. PS - Is non-refundable, so if your plans change, must be willing to take the hit.

Hotel Autentico was fine, The staff are very friendly and helpful. My room was very noisy and I asked to be moved which was taken care of nicely. The hotel is a little dated and I didn’t enjoy my dinner in the restaurant. It was overpriced and not very good. Overall, the hotel was ok for the price.
