Lighthouse Lodge And Cottages

Lighthouse Lodge And Cottages

8/10 Good
"I really enjoyed our stay and our cottage was lovely. My only real complaint is that there was an incessant beeping - like a fire alarm panel chirping - coming from the dining area where they serve breakfast. You could hear it from outside the building, and it permeated the dining room while eating breakfast! I called the front office about the noise, but it chirped through all three mornings we were there trying to eat breakfast! Insane. I still can’t get over what an annoying sound that was and I can’t believe no one on staff could figure out how to make it stop."

"This is an old hotel with lots of books and crannies, sitting rooms, old furniture and historical pieces. Bed was super comfy. Bathroom okay. The endless hallways and staircases were fun. It was a solid stay and the location amazing. So much happens in Monterrey!"
