Calafia Hotel

Calafia Hotel

8/10 Good
"Everything was fine good service. Nice staff. The only complaint was the TV wasn't able to show things in English. That also may have been my ignorance. Also I was far down at the end of property and didn't get good phone service. That could have been my phone. All else was good. Good price for room."
