I loved how friendly the staff was and was nice enough to offer a pamphlet of recommended restaurants and places to visit even for rainy days which was very helpful since i has been raining for the couple days i stayed here. Very clean, and beautiful, has AC. Love La Buena Vida Inn would definitely stay here again.

Could use some work on the details: There was no body soap in the shower, no washcloths, and very cheap toilet paper. The TV did not have basic cable, the staff leaves for the day at 4pm (and check-in starts at 3pm) so you basically are on your own to deal with all this. The staff was helpful when we eventually met them the next day, but it was a little too late at that point.

Great affordable place to crash at. Our queen size bed room was super small but fully functional. Unfortunately, the shower was only cold water. This is an eco-friendly hotel so be prepared to not to throw TP into toilet. Shared kitchen and work stations would make a perfect long stay. Located to many places to eat. Dinner at Cafe Tresbé was delicious and affordable. Egg Join was the perfect meal to start our day. Both are located down the block. Location is young and hip. We lucked out with parking on the street during our stay in December. Definitely would recommend for an affordable, more of an apartment stay.
