Nice place and great service. We stayed a couple of days and ate at the local Chateau restaurant a couple of times. Worked out at the gym one morning. Definitely a cool place. Oh but parking is $24 per night, that was a little shock. The restaurant staff Miguel and company were very nice. Also Rachel hotel staff was cool too.
Half demolished wedge salad and burger!

Nice hotel. Front desk staff could be friendlier. Not to mention it would have been nice to know there was an elevator at the back of the hotel closer to my 3rd floor room.

Wow, the room for starters was awesome. It was a great size, tv area with a desk, sofa, bar section with granite top counter, microwave, mini-fridge and sink. Two AC units, one for the tv area, one for the bedroom. The hotel itself was immaculately clean and had a really nice big pool with lounge chairs, a covered cabana-like section. And there was also a big jacuzzi with a soft rooftop over it. Then there was the peaceful inner courtyard with a nice fountain. Yeah, loved it!

We’ve stayed here many times. It’s a first class property. The only down side was Jaqueline at reception. She doesn’t belong in the front of the house.

The Ayres Hotel is nice, what stood out was that it was clean and the staff was courteous. The furniture is dated but not uncomfortable. The breakfast and dinner food was good. I will never be happy with having to pay for parking though.
