Parking was safe.
There are areas in the garden by the parking to site a relax overlooking the river below.
They have a separate on site restaurant that was pleasant
The rooms were basic but pleasant.
We really enjoyed our stay at the San Juan Inn. The room was very nice and clean. The location is great. It’s close to lots of things to do like site seeing and hiking. We highly recommend staying here.
Very nice older hotel, had a great restaurant attached.
