Tena
This attractively refurbished colonial-style home, tucked away on a quiet street, has public areas full of eclectic arts and crafts. Rooms themselves have a cozy, homey feel with high ceilings, adobe walls and wood floors. Service is lackadaisical but there is free coffee and breakfast for $3 to $5 extra.
