Mirador del Lago Hotel

Mirador del Lago Hotel

8/10 Good
"Staff accommodated us when we complained about odor in room; I requested they spray but they upgraded us. Breakfast is very good with plenty of options. Bar time takes place at the breakfast room or in the lounge next to it. Once again servers/table-clearing women for breakfast and drinks+salad were super nice. We would stay there again and definitely have a meal at the restaurant. The center is within walking distance. A grocery store, restaurants, and coffee shops are nearby."
