The breakfast was excellent with lots of choices. The staff was fantastic, the location was very close to lots of good restaurants. I wish our room looked out onto the street instead of towards the center of the hotel. Be warned it is loud on Fri and Sat nights until around midnight since they have live music in the lobby. I enjoyed it and could fall asleep regardless.

Staff was very nice, specially, Barbara at recepcion and Alanis, at the bar. Although, hotel areas and bedroom were clean, the bathtub walls presented mold, otherwise highly recommended.

The staff was nice, the food good, but the music on the square Friday and Saturday night ruined the experience. It wasn’t just loud, the bass shook our room and gave us both headaches. No matter that it was over by 9:00 p.m.; the damage was done. We cannot recommend the hotel because of the noise pollution.
