9.6/10 Exceptional! (313 reviews)

We loved the beauty and character and decor of the hotel and particularly our room. Staff were exceptionally helpful. I walk with a cane and our check-in young man noticed (i should have noted his name but he wore eye glasses) and moved us from a second floor room to the fabulous first floor room. The all day coffee/tea station was much appreciated. The breakfast outdoor and indoor area was so charming and the food was delicious. The location was fabulous and so close to great restaurants like Isolina and Siete. We only wished we had booked more than one night.
