Excellent stay., everything was at walking distance The only thing was the Air conditioner on the 4th floor was not comfortable. In addition the window for the bathroom was opened and it would not close completely. Need to have that window repaired and consider adding a more sufficient air conditioning system.

Beautiful hotel. Very cordial staff. Excellent rooftop pool as well as breakfast area. We had a standard room and it was a bit small as it had a king size bed. That was our only complaint and it was a very small one.
