"Loved the patio and how close it was to everything. We could walk to get some food and to a bar. Within walking distance from a market as well as some other places. The WiFi was super spotty in our room though. Bike rentals were convenient and great quality bikes! Do note the tv (at least in our room) only had YouTube, no Netflix or hbo. Without the WiFi, we couldn’t chrome cast either. Not a huge deal because we were there for fun and not so much leisure time. Thought it was worth mentioning if...

"The location is excellent and the second floor patio has a great view. This old hotel has some beautiful details like tile floors and nice tile work in the bathroom. However, it’s clear they are relying on the location to sell the place and not bothering much with upkeep and service. Check-in was frustrating.
