This is my second stay at this hotel and I continue to love the quality of the service and rooms. I selected a larger room and it was so nice to hang out in. The location of the hotel is perfect - right off Camino trail. The breakfast very good and had lots to offer.

Overall a conveniently located hotel in the heart of the city. The “pool” is more of a large bathtub than a pool really but that did not bother us. The restaurant on site has limited options and room service is non existent. You are paying for the location although our room was nice and we had a large terrace. Housekeeping forgot about cleaning the terrace and we found prior guest underwear outside which was a bit strange
