"This is our second time staying in this hotel. It is a very conveniently located, clean and pleasant hotel to stay in. Our dog was also welcome. Having not chosen to include the breakfast, access to a coffee in the morning was a little awkward. The staff in the dining room were not very enthusiastic about providing this service. This was our only disappointment."

"I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful hotel. The rooms are spacious, beautifully decorated, exceptionally clean, and very well organized. The hotel offers excellent food and beverage options, and all the services were outstanding. Every member of the staff was incredibly kind, welcoming, and professional, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I would especially like to recognize Paloma for her exceptional attention, kindness and outstanding service. I would also like to give a very special thank you to Sonia, who takes care of the rooms. Her dedication, attention to detail, and the care she puts into her work truly made a difference and did not go unnoticed. Congratulations to the entire team for providing such a high level of hospitality. I will definitely be happy to return!"
