The hotel is a lot smaller than the pictures. The room is also small but has great shower and comfortable beds. There is no free parking, the reception will provide a voucher and you need to pay $7 to park next door. The hotel location is awesome, you can walk to most of the attractions. Breakfast buffet is great.

Pleasant hotel, good room, centrally located but lots of traffic noise. I agree with some other reviewers that the pictures on the website and here on this site make the hotel appear far more refined and maintained than it actually is. In the dining area in the pool courtyard I charged my mobile phone in a wall socket which simply fell out of its casing exposing wires. Parts of the pool don't look functional at all and we never saw anyone use it. Our room was large and pleasant but faced the main road and there was too much traffic noise even very early. If we'd stayed longer than 2 nights I would have asked for another quieter room. Breakfast was ok and this hotel is centrally located and acceptable for a short stay.

The bed and the shower were very good. The breakfast was varied and the staff helpful. The pool was disappointing, it really is only for kids to play in. The location is good and the price is right!

Great staff and restaurant was amazing. Very cute property. Only problem was no hot water. We stayed twice with 2 days in between and it did not get fixed.
