The entertainment is nice but it’s so loud. The hotel has an open center and the mariachi band just echoed so loud up to my floor and very late at night. My room had no heat for two days and it wasn’t until the third day did it get fixed but then I couldn’t shut off the heat and it was too hot.

Hotel Contessa made an excellent vacation for us. Every one of their employees greeted us with a smile and kindness. Great renovations! My only suggestion- extend your happy hour menu to the outside patio. It’s wonderful to sit there and people watch! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Hotel took my money from Expedia and still charged me full price when I checked in, they refused to return the over payment. I would not recommend this hotel or booking service. The booking agent did not get my money back or even try. They said they are only allowed to make one call to the hotel and they did not answer. If you read this review, please warn as many people as you can not to use this hotel or booking service.
