Everything was fantastic, however the bed sheets could be a little more clean, restock paper towel or hand towel in the bathroom and restock drinks as well as water :). The bathroom could be little more clean. Other than that everything was perfect.

Does Expedia offer Book Now, Pay Later San Carlos holidays?

Klarna has several payment plans to pick from, so you're sure to find one that works with your budget. Browse these flexible payment options:
