The young ladies in the lobby were not friendly. There was a car show in town the night we had booked and we had a good rate. They said our reservation had been cancelled. (By Who?) But they had a more expensive room available if we wanted to pay $50.00 more. They knew they could rent the room for more money and cancelled us out. I had a confirmation Number and booked two weeks in advance. Never again for me at La Serena.

Excellent Value-better than most!

The front desk cleck was friendly on the phone and in person. The rates (weekday) are low for the quality room you get. The room I had was spacious, clean and the art was actually viewable. There was a nicely put together local guide with lots of helpful information and the walls were not paper thin. I hope they keep up the nice rooms and don't raise their rates! I would definitly go back, and have!

Reservations not honored

You can make a reservation months in advance - and when you arrive you find that they gave YOUR room (that you had a reservation for for months, confirmed and all) to someone else who just showed up...
No information, no phone call, no courtesy. Their excuse: hotel policy... yeah right... That is one bogus policy I have never heard of. What on earth do you make reservations for!

Amazing experience!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/16/05
The La Serena Inn is perfectly located in a quiet residential neighborhood. It is close to the downtown and waterfront areas. I was impressed with the value, it is a great deal for such a clean and well appointed inn. The staff was attentive and friendly. I felt that I had died and checked in to hotel heaven!
All I did was call in to ask about room availablity, and boy was the receptionist rude. It was as if I she couldn't be bothered with me. Customer service is a biggie with me. I won't be visiting this hotel due to rudeness.
