With sunny colors, high-quality, thick mattresses, neatly tiled (if small) bathrooms, a decent restaurant and an attractive flora-filled courtyard with a pristine pool, this appealing little hotel is a good choice. It's in the lovely, leafy area of La Cañada so you might have howler monkeys outside your window. Prices are much lower outside high season.
