My stay at The Hermosa Inn was a mix of charming moments and a few disappointments. The atmosphere was intimate and beautiful, with serene grounds perfect for relaxation. However, the accommodations didn’t quite meet expectations, particularly with the mattress situation. Overall, while the restaurant experience was good, I felt the room's quality didn't fully align with the hotel’s upscale reputation.

My recent stay at The Hermosa Inn was largely fantastic, highlighted by the beautiful grounds and standout service.

The Hermosa Inn offers a charming atmosphere and excellent dining at Lon's, creating a serene retreat with beautiful grounds. However, my experience was marred by inconsistent service and room quality. While I enjoyed the picturesque location, the mattress issues and lack of special touches for my anniversary fell short of expectations.

Rooms

My room had a cozy design typical of southwestern decor, but the mattress was quite uncomfortable and not suitable for a 4-diamond hotel. After addressing this, I was moved to another room that was just okay.

The facilities were nice, but I found the $35 resort fee a bit perplexing, especially since the only extra I noticed was bottles of water. The landscaping outside our room was also quite disruptive early in the morning.
