The Inn At El Gaucho

The streetside rooms are noisy, the interior rooms are somewhat dark. The queen beds are very comfortable and the tv is a large flat screen. There is no breakfast, but you can walk to a restaurant in the morning. There is no tub, and they have installed pump style toiletries that are hard to operate in the shower.
