Star
"Built in 1920 to replace the century-old original, it features hand-painted murals and stained glass throughout, and plenty of nooks and crannies where you sit and soak up the atmosphere."
Gayot
"Dates to 1922 but looks even older, with its stately Pueblo Revival architecture and snazzy tiled lobby decked with fine antiques and art... Rooms continue the theme with handcrafted wooden furniture."
DK Eyewitness
"Artworks are everywhere: the guest-room headboards, the blanket boxes, and even the light switches have been painted by the hotel's resident artist."

Rough Guide

Gayot
"For years a very basic budget motel, this property underwent a lovely, and quite ambitious, redesign and top-to-bottom overhaul a couple of years ago."
Lonely Planet
"With more appeal than a chain hotel but not as much as boutique accommodations, the Sage Inn is a nice compromise in terms of quality, service and location." Full review
Frommer's
"This two-story motel right next to Whole Foods supermarket is a good deal with a central location, only 6 blocks from the plaza" Full review
