"The Inn at Pasatiempo - Clean room with nice accommodations. Friendly staff were very helpful. We stayed in the King suite with fireplace. The room was large and comfortable. The bed was fantastic. It was nice to have a restaurant on site with both food and drinks that were great. The restaurant staff were friendly and attentive."
