Hotel Casaliza experience notes:
- Be prepared to scratch your car while driving into their property. It is a steep ramp and a narrow left turn into the property.
- The hotel doesn’t have bellhops, so be ready to carry your luggage through three flights of stairs and narrow stone-laden passages if you are on the top floor.
- The rooms are spartan, charming but rudimentary, and the cable TV quality is limited and pre-HDTV.
- There is no air conditioning in the rooms, so when it is hot (most nights), one cannot leave the balcony doors open because they don’t have insect screens. They offer a portable but loud air ventilator.
- Walking into the room, one will find only one bath towel, one smaller towel, and no hand towels. It takes a few trips to their front desk room for another bath towel.
- There are no telephones in the rooms; therefore, all requests have to be made in person, at the front desk, but only during business hours
- The biggest joke is their price-included breakfast. When asked, the front desk employee pointed to a coffee maker and a basket of Mexican bread and said: “This is the included breakfast.”
- On the upside, the internet has decent bandwidth speed, and the place is clean.
- The best thing is the attached (but separately owned) restaurant “Mia”; top of the line with amazing food, great drinks, and superior service.
