Hotel Misión San Gil
Beautiful huge courtyard with peacocks! Restaurant was quite good, and the service was excellent. I appreciated being able to charge my car overnight. The rooms are a bit like a monastery, but mine was big. They should reduce the light at night, but otherwise everything was fine.
