Estéban Restaurant - Lovely breakfast, great service (open for all! not just guests)

Went here for breakfast while staying at the nearby hotel. The food was delicious (we shared the French toast and the rise & shine) and our server Rebeca was so sweet!! Apparently people tend to believe this place is only open to hotel guests, but it’s open for all! The vibes were lovely, an overall great experience :)

Downtown is close ...

Downtown is close enough that Golden State Theater is within walking distance. It really is a great place to stay!

My go-to happy hour place. The Brussels sprouts are the best! Very nice non-alco mojito and excellent sangria. Always outstanding service.

We had a great weekend stay. The room was well cared for - both upon arrival and during out stay. The staff was great. We had a particularly wonderful dinner at the restaurant. Highly recommend!

Wonderful friendly staff ...

Wonderful friendly staff especially the gentlemen on the front desk, the gals who answerer the phone are also a pleasure and help with any questions we have. The water gets really hot and has never "run out", which happens at other places apparently. Rooms are cozy and they have plenty of ice machines around the establishment, it's also a dispenser thing instead of a bucket which keeps it super sanitary. 10/10 we always return here when on vacation. Plus there's a really good Szechuan Chinese place across the street just a tiny bit of a walk away, I'd highly recommend to grab a noodles, rice, and beef broccoli tray thing togo!

Estéban Restaurant - We loved our experience ...

We loved our experience at Esteban! Kid, dog, even cat friendly! They have a pet menu and our dog received a bowl with a burger patty, fried egg, and several strips of bacon. The outdoor patio is spacious with fire pits. For humans, we loved the guava mimosa, lavender honey chia pudding, eggs benedict, and casa omelette. We’ll be back! 😍 | Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5 | Reservation: Reservations not required | Wait time: No wait | Kid-friendliness: Kids welcome

The room was great, the staff were incredible, the location was convenient. But maybe the biggest sleeper with this hotel is its restaurant. The food here is worthy of a special trip. When something as simple as Brussels sprouts tapas can make you weep, you know you're onto something special. Don't get me started on the Avocado toast! Loved every minute of this stay and will definitely return!
