I liked every detail about my real good 3 nights stay here. The location was prime, within walking distance of a Roman Catholic cathedral. Pretty good restaurant walking distance to the hotel. The buffet breakfast was savoury and had plenty of meals.

I enjoyed that, I have never been in a better hotel. All in all everything was perfect, had an excellent stay at a lovely venue. Got airy, budget with a balcony on the third floor, heart shaped towels, as for instance. It had central location close to a performing arts theater.

We loved the elegant atmosphere and the shopping area. And it also had magnificent view. Generally everything was amazing, though the bathroom was cramped. A short walk to the awesome beach.
