This is an old hotel but well maintained. Not enough electrical outlets in the roommates if you have a lot of devices to keep running. The restaurant is nothing to brag about and a bit expensive, not great value. The pool is great for swimming laps but not so good for small children as it’s pretty deep with most a ‘meter or more. The staff treated us well and no complaints. Breakfast is pretty decent with a few options. Many restaurants are within walking distance. I tried the Capital and Pescaye. The first is mostly burgers with some other options and the second is a fish house with some pretty good fish. In all I would not hesitate to stay here again.

We booked this hotel for 2 nights thinking it’s peaceful and clean. However, they are renting their venue for weddings and this weekend they had 3 weddings and some other party going on. The music was blasting until 3 in the am and I had to get up at 5am for my medical treatment. The cleanness is lacking big time, it’s an old place; at the reception they don’t have anything only one chair to sit, no water to drink nothing. The power goes on and off. The staff try their best, they are always asking if you need anything, nice people; however the management seem like they couldn’t care less. It’s overpriced for the facility it offered, we paid $90 a night, it’s absolutely not worth it. I have made complaints about the noise but again they can’t do anything. Unpleasant experience and I’m moving out to another hotel right now:(

Stayed here 2 nights with family, including a small child. The property is amazing… Especially the pool area. It is an older historic building, so you do see that in some of the rooms, but it did not take away from our experience at all. Everything was very clean, Was pleasantly surprised by everything, including the staff friendliness and service.
