I liked everything about the LiA hotel. The proprietors were pleasant and personable. The price was reasonable, especially for the area. The room had a coffee maker, a microwave oven, and a refrigerator. Lots of hot water in the shower. There were many restaurants within a short walk.

The LiA hotel is conveniently located near the San Carlos city center/walk street…parking in the courtyard is easy and usually available. Those are the good things. The bad things are that the walls are very thin and you can hear your neighbors and the people above you if you’re on ground level. We were there for a week and there was loud music most nights. Probably won’t be back.

I love this place because the price is right! It’s old, somewhat dumpy, but very inexpensive. I am comfortable (except when it’s garbage day and the trucks in the alley wake me up before 6). But that inconvenience is worth paying $100/night.
