This hotel is amazing! Other than the parking being a couple of blocks away, there is nothing negative about this property. Clean, quiet, walkable location close to everything. Loved our stay and will highly recommend. And the staff is top shelf….😃

Stay Hotel Faro Centro
Decent place! I’m grateful for the clean place to stay. If you’re traveling on a budget and want to treat yourself to a night or two in a private space, this is a good spot. 10:00 am checkout is a bit inhumane, and the shower was pretty tiny, but it did the trick for a night. The staff was sweet. ...
