Review of Hotel Los Gatos and Spa

Notes from when I stayed at this hotel in May 2016:

Nice grounds and buildings with a Mediterranean atmosphere. Hotel staff are pleasant and helpful; public rooms and spaces are very good; bedrooms are comfortable but looking rather tired, with thin walls.

The restaurant is not open for lunch, and the bar is not open until the evening.

Breakfast is a total disgrace. Coffee is over-stewed and sour. No choice of cooked breakfast just scrambled eggs with the consistency (and flavour) of rubberised cinder-block. You need a chainsaw to cut into it. No bacon or anything else to go with that, just jaw-breaking recycled potatoes. The cook should be fired so he can pursue his talent for making car tyres or operating a crematorium.

Fortunately, just a quarter-mile up the road, you can find the Southern Kitchen coffee shop, who really do understand what breakfast should be.
