Suites Santo Cielo

Very comfortable hotel directly opposite the 1st mission in California

There was a lot of construction, making parking difficult

Beautiful area, hotel totally adequate for a couple of nights

Easy access to all restaurants & shopping & beach, only thing bottling us is the mission bell, we at right front of the church, the bell rings every hour

Super room right in the heart of town. Had to park the car a few blocks away and walk in but it seemed safe enough and we didn't have any issues. As others have mentioned, the only downside is the church bells dingdonging all the while. It seemed to be at least half an hour out of sync so they could silence them altogether and it wouldn't matter!

The check in was unclear. The ‘suites’ were attached to a derelict hotel which threw us. We then asked at the restaurant with the same name and someone got the owner who then checked us in. The room was nice and clean. It had a lovely balcony that looks on the church plaza. The church bells kind of rang at odd times. We joked that we go so used to them we can’t sleep without them any more. Lovely town. Very safe and walkable area.

Great place!

Close to everything

The room has a wonderful balcony overlooking a walking street across from the Mission. The bells mentioned in other reviews only rang at 5:30pm, 5:45pm and 6pm. The bed was very comfortable. The walkway along the Gulf is only a five minute walk On the second visit, the bathroom floor had some long hairs on it (not mine). A bit more sweeping would have been good. Also, on the second visit, the sheets had some black flecks on them, but they brushed off.

Great location. Spacious room. Comfy bed. We were the only ones staying here I believe. The balcony looks over the plaza across from the Basilica. We arrived a little early but it wasn't a problem. You have to go to the restaurant next door to check-in. Waitress helped us and we appreciated that. Never met who runs the hotel but I did speak with him on the phone when our internet password wouldn't work. Owner said to use the free internet which I never found but I wouldn't use anyways because it would have been unsecure. So, never did have internet which was disappointing. There was a coffee maker that didn't work either. There's a few restaurants in the area to get coffee and a breakfast. There were blackout curtains which was nice but there was no sound proofing from the noise in the halls and the plaza. Fortunately, we liked the music the restaurant was playing next door. It was pretty noisy. Again, I think we were the only ones there which was lucky for us because it could have been much noisier.
