Positive: We've enjoyed our stay many times at the Monticito Inn and it's the only hotel we'll book. The staff is wonderful. We do reserve the standard king room which is fine since we don't spend much time in the room, We had a minor shower door repair that was handled promptly by maintenance. We conveniently ordered delicious food delivery by the bellman in late evening, from restaurant downstairs but Lion's Tale is not affiliated with the hotel, so just pay seperately. The location is so easy to walk to some well known restaurants and shops. There's 24-hour complimentary coffee and tea and muffins in the mornings.
Negative: The standard king room's bathroom is quite small with a pedestal sink, but still has pretty Mediterranean-style tiles ((not the marble upgrade). There is a make-up mirror but not lighted. Suggestion for mananagement: There could easily be an extra shelf added to help accomodate products for 2 people, and hooks to hang robes, and to dry towels (we save on room service). Storing cosmetic products in bedroom drawers isn't very convenient.
Summary: Our favorite hotel and a tip for management

Travel Purpose: business
Positive: I liked the location. Lots of nearby restaurants and shops. The beach is also walking distance. Staff was very friendly and provided directions to nearby places when asked.
Negative: The rooms did not have ventilation. Elevator has some old world charm but was out of order while I was there. Lighting for the rooms was also not good. Bed was uncomfortable, noise travels easily between rooms. Some parts of the rooms/bathrooms are renovated while other elements are still outdated. Ultimately, they need to either fully upgrade their rooms or not charge so much.
Summary: Overall, excellent location and a fairly decent room.

Positive: Very central to the village.
Negative: I mistook the online description of “Mountain” view as being a good thing but it really means roadside and I couldn’t change.
Summary: It was fine
