Los Gatos Lodge

Los Gatos Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"We enjoyed our stay. The grounds are lush green and well kept. It’s an old hotel and some upgrades are needed but it doesn’t distract from the good service and comfort. Great breakfast with scrambled eggs and sausages. Even though the pool isn’t heated, it was clean and we enjoyed the swim both days. Our grandkids enjoyed it especially because it’s been very hot. "
