Beautiful hotel on a quieter end of town, lots of good food within blocks, and walking distance to all the touristy must-sees. We did the scavenger hunt completely by accident and had so much fun showing the pictures to the concierge.

Hotel was clean and plenty of space. The day we arrived work was being done on the generator so no power. Was supposed to be until 3 pm but far exceeded that time past 7 pm. The next night more work was being done so no TV. That was essentially our entire trip. Would have been nice to get a notice before our trip.

J’ai réservé cet hôtel de part les très beaux avis mentionnés, et surtout par le ratio qualité prix qui me semblait très bon. Malheureusement, première déception lorsque j’ai vu qu’il n’y avait pas de bars à l’intérieur de l’hôtel alors qu’une des photos de l’hôtel est représenté par un magnifique bar. Ensuite, nous avons eu une coupure d’électricité et à aucun moment nous avons reçu une information par e-mail ou text pour nous prévenir. Et pour finir, la femme de chambre a actionné le réveil de la chambre ce qui nous a réveillé en pleine nuit. Déçu dans l’ensemble de la prestation, je m’attendais à beaucoup mieux.
