Great location one block from town square. We had a room with a wall right next to the street so a little noisy for our liking. Otherwise great place to stay!

The hotel is small and extremely well located. It is more expensive than other similar hotels in the area, BUT the quality of the service, cleaning fee, breakfast and overall confort and location makes up for the price difference. I highly recommend it.

Great location, staff provided good service, I would recommend having breakfast at the restaurant. Major issue was the remodeled bathroom was poorly remodeled, where the bathroom would basically flood every time you took a shower.

Loved the location and that hotel! Friendly and helpful staff, my room was spotless, comfortable beds, loved the terrace, delicious food The hotel will need to work on the kitchen, took a long time for our food, needed more staff especially for the Sunday crowd! Despite it all I would return! Every that I wanted to go, I could walk. Would recommend to park your car for your stay and walk, Uber or Tuk tuk…. Felt safe. Want to return soon.

It was one of our better stays. The rate included breakfast located on the rooftop which was very pleasant and the food was good. very good location near the main central park. The room was a little awkward. It had two full beds that were raised on platforms that were so high that they included a step stool to help with getting onto the bed. Shower and hot water was very good. Because of configuration, the room was very tight.
