The first two categories of ratings (Cleanliness and Staff & Service) are, for me personally, the main priorities. This hotel ranks 5-star on these two criteria! The staff that serves breakfast were extremely friendly and hospitable. And the breakfasts were delicious. Also, the hotel was entirely clean: the cleaning staff were extremely diligent and careful. My hotel room’s infrastructure was pretty basic yet perfectly fine. On two of my five evenings there, I did hear some loud music for a couple of hours in the evening. But it ended by 10pm on each night, perhaps due to a local noise ordinance so I had no problem with it. Overall, I strongly recommend Hotel Villa Serena San Benito! (I do have a small suggestion for anyone who uses taxis: Be sure to distinguish between “San Benito” and “Escalon”. Once, a driver drove me to the wrong hotel. Luckily the two hotels are not far apart.)
