Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We liked the colors and all of the outdoor spaces filled with plants and flowers. We liked the staff, the restaurant and the food.The rustic furniture in these spaces was a nice visual touch as well although some probably shouldn't be used for actual seating. We did not like our room. We paid for a room with a view which did have a little terrace but it looked out over the roof and onto a loud and busy street. You could also see the machinery on the rooftop and there were workers who climbed over the railing near our room daily to access these machines (checking and/or fixing them - we were not sure). We did not have hot water our first day and it was hit or miss after that. There was no TV which is actually ok but there's also no phone in the room, no hair dryer, iron or other basic essentials. Also, the outlet near the bathroom sink was a little blackened which was a worry. There was also a lot of peeling paint around the property including in our room. While Todos Santos is small, quiet and pleasant art town, we feel this property is totally over rated. Considering they only have 11 rooms, it seems it would be easy to put some effort and amenities into each one so they truly look and feel special. With all of the other hotel options close by, we would absolutely not stay at this property again.

Needs a big make up
This hotel indeed lives off legend since rooms are old and not maintained doors and window dont open bathroom falling apart and no phone in room. The pool was icy cold. The common areas are cheap and rather decrepit. AC leaking creating puddles in room. One good thing was breakfast (expensive and not included but good). Location good and nearby parking handy but unsupervised at night.

Hotel California
Hotel was centrally located and nicely decorated in traditional Mexican style. Food in the restaurant was excelent with good service. Waiters all spoke great English. Prices were a bit high compared to other restaurants in Todo Santos. Rooms are noisy due to location over the main town street. However if you went to Hotel California for peace and serenity you went for the wrong reasons.

Charming hotel..but be ready for some noise
The hotel is very conveniently located at the center of town. It is easy to walk to various restaurants and and boutiques in the area. The hotel is extremely charming, with colourful and eclectic decor and vibrant artwork. The pool was great, as we spent many hours each day there. Although small, the pool area provided a great place to relax. As we had our newborn son with us, we weren't always out in the town. The hotel had enough quiet areas for us to relax and read while our son slept in his stroller. I also have to thank the wonderful front desk staff - both Luis and Hugo were extremely helpful. Hugo also helping me deal with issues with the car rental company, so thank you to them both. However, the only complaint was the lack of soundproofing on the windows. Street noise easily comes through, especially during the time we visited, which coincided with 4 days of Day of the Dead festivities. Additionally, there was plumbing work going on behind our room, which was audible, until 12:30 am. Luckily, my wife used her phone app for some white noise. Normally it wouldn't be an issue, but we had our son with us, and we didn't want his sleep disturbed. But the owner, Debbie, was very gracious and apologetic when we told her the issues the next day.

Nice hotel, great location
First time staying at Hotel California. The location is great, central to town and a close drive to beaches. The service was good, the staff is very helpful & friendly. The room was comfortable but could use updating, The pool desperately needs to be retiled and cleaned.

Stay Away
After a long flight and drive, we arrived to hotel, booked months in advance. Shown to our room, directly over a generator. Asked to be moved, and were shown to a second room. Here, the manager told us that the room had no running water. In fact, the entire hotel was without running water. We asked if he could book us into either the Todos Santos Inn, or Guaycara - both similiarly priced and nearby. He said he would, and made the call for us. Not a Spanish speaker, I didn't know what he said, but he handed me directions, and off we went. Turns out, he booked us at Hotel Casa Tota and agreed to pay for our 3 night stay. Well, lucky Hotel California got a total money earner on us. The one night price that I paid for Hotel CA was twice what the nightly rate was at Hotel Casa Tota. Requested to be reimbursed, and both Expedia and Hotel California denied the request. I didn't want the money back for the other hotel, we stayed there, but shame on Hotel CA for ripping me off. They made a hundred and twenty bucks nightly on me for 3 nights and for that, SHAME SHAME SHAME
