hotel is on the right just past the freeway. Continue on Alvarado Niles
(after the road crosses Decoto, it becomes Niles Blvd) for several
miles (and lots of stop lights). The road will narrow to one lane
each direction and you will pass the Mission Adobe Nursery on your right.
Continue to downtown Niles and park in the parking lot on the left or park on the
street. The Museum and Theater is on the right side at 37417 Niles Blvd, between
