When we arrived no one was at the front office, when the receptionist finally came back she was rude. The hotel was next to a busy road and was very loud at all times.

The classic villa was exactly what we (five adults) needed for our stay in Potrero - clean and spacious. The staff were great and responded quickly to our requests for supply refills, fresh towels, etc. One recommendation I would encourage before placing a reservation is to inquire about weekend activities. We endured a few hours of exceedingly loud karaoke/open mic festivities on Friday evening - not at all what I wanted for vacation, especially with a six-hour drive ahead of us the next day.
