"I like several things about our time at Rio Grande.It's easy to find but hidden from the street so it's pretty quiet. That made it easy to get a great night of sleep every night.It's behind a great restaurant where the food and hospitality are equally excellent. It's a small place so it's not noisy and the food was really tasty.Rio Bravo has a porch at the top of the stairs where you can relax with your morning coffee and enjoy the songbirds.Check it out. It's a great choice for location,...
