This hotel was amazing. If there was any suggestion, it would be to revamp the breakfast format but there are plenty of options in the surrounding area so no biggy.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. It’s super convenient and walkable to all of the places in Old Port. My only critique is I wish that the airport shuttle was aligned with the flight times at the airport. I had to Uber both ways because the shuttle was not in operation.
