La Mansion del Bosque

In business for nearly 50 years, this 23-room B&B is a great value, with simply decorated, comfortable rooms and excellent family-style meals. Owner Ruth Hyba is a gourmet cook and the staff is caring and gracious. It's on a quiet street, close to Juarez Park and three flat blocks to the Jardin. It has a good library. Just know before you book: the owner doesn't take credit cards.
