The hotel is very nice and well located, and the breakfasts are tasty. The rooms are a little on the dark side…an extra light would be handy. Most annoyingly, we booked the hotel for its pool, only to be unable to use it one night as the hotel had leased the area to a DJ, and it was not available to use for guests. Poor form. Then for the other nights, they undertook their annual maintenance, so it was also off limits. Why they chose to do this during summer is a mystery.

This place was so beautiful—a real gem in the heart of the historic area of M. City. Our suite was so sexy—very much exceeded our expectations. My only criticism was the AC was loud (fan needs to be calibrated—sounded like it was rubbing something) and it didn’t seem to do much cooling. But, we kept the windows open to the outside and luckily it wasn’t too hot.

The property is located close to a few historical sights and looks very nice. The breakfast was also great. Sadly, there were a few issues - the swimming pool area was closed one of the days, the sink in my room didn't drain properly, there was noisy construction on site one night that went on past midnight and the AC didn't work well.

Beautiful hotel & stay! LOVE that the hotel has shops and restaurant (make sure you make reservations). The only suggestion to hotel is to give guests more light options in room. It was quite dark. Other than that, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!

Beautiful, but needs more light!

Nice location. Very chic. Excellent breakfast in a beautiful old palacio, with friendly staff. The room was very chic, but it was very dimly lit. This is very challenging for a traveler--making it harder to find things in a room. It was even dimly lit in the bathroom--not friendly for a woman. This trend also extended to the check-in desk and even the restaurant within the building (which was beautiful, but unaffiliated with the hotel).
