The location is great for access to the historic center. Others have stated there was loud music at night, but we didn't experience that. Staff was great. The bed was comfortable. However not the best hotel choice for us older folks. We ended up with a 3rd floor room, no elevator and no handrails on the stairs (partly my own fault as I didn't think to request 1st floor). Also, the shower in our room was a square tub in the middle of the floor with a shower head over it, with no curtain, door or handrails. You had to step over the 2 ft edge to access it. Also, no coffee makings or even hot water to make your own, although the restaurant did open at 8:00.

Alex at our check in was excellent went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. We loved the hotel and room concept. Tou can’t get a better location for the art walk in Thursday night but it come at a price. The music from the restaurant hotel was so loud until 11. After that ended the music from local bars from the area played until the middle of the night. The air plugs provided were not very useful. The hotel is beautiful but unfortunately we will not stay here again because of the noise.

Do not come here if you want to sleep during the night. There was incredibly loud music with a thundering base playing until 3 in the morning! We could not sleep, even with earplugs. We even went down and asked the staff but they said it was a neighboring locale and they couldn't do anything about it. Then palm-tree trimming started at 7am (with a chainsaw right outside our window). There was a bright light in the hallway on all night and with the room door being glass and having no curtain, we could not get the room dark at all. The minimalist design meant there was almost nowhere to put our belongings that wasn't the floor. They did nothing to atone for this upsetting experience. We also got diarrhea and a stomach bug the next day and we can't know if it was the welcome drink we got at this hotel or food we ate elsewhere. (I suggest to skip the welcome drink anyway, it was watery). We stayed 1 night here after having been in Mexico 7 days already with good, quiet experiences in other places and no stomach bugs up to then. The only good parts were: The hotel was clean and the cement design looks kind of cool. The staff were friendly and helped us find a post office and get a cardboard box to try to mail something.
