8/10 Very Good

Nice property with garden, pool, restaurant. Very short drive to local dining options and easy freeway access to the airport. Secure free parking just across the street 50 yards. Rooms are quaint with good beds and nice hardwood floors. However, poorly lit rooms are smaller than average, shower water pressure is astonishingly low despite water flow to the faucet - plumbing issue. Bath towels are old. Overall, good hotel, but these small details prevent from taking it up a notch. PS - Is non-refundable, so if your plans change, must be willing to take the hit.

Hotel Autentico was fine, The staff are very friendly and helpful. My room was very noisy and I asked to be moved which was taken care of nicely. The hotel is a little dated and I didn’t enjoy my dinner in the restaurant. It was overpriced and not very good. Overall, the hotel was ok for the price.

Thank you Joseph
We only stayed for a night but enjoyed the friendliness of all the staff. Breakfast was very good! Most importantly, Joseph at the reception helped us out of a pickle, big time.

Enchanting Escape at Autentico Hotel
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Autentico Hotel, and it exceeded all my expectations. The friendly service immediately made me feel at home, and the cleanliness of the rooms showcased their commitment to excellence. The authentic and delicious breakfast was a highlight, offering a delightful start to each day. While the rooms were generally comfortable, my only suggestion would be to add more pillows to enhance the bedroom's coziness. The hotel's location is superb, conveniently situated for exploring the area. However, the true gem of Autentico Hotel is its magical garden/restaurant. This enchanting space provided a serene escape, allowing me to unwind and indulge in the beauty of nature while savoring delectable dishes. Autentico Hotel is a haven for those seeking a perfect blend of comfort, authenticity, and charm. I wholeheartedly recommend it for a memorable and rejuvenating stay.
