"This is not a chain hotel. We started from Norman, Oklahoma. Our trip was full of delayed flights, rebooking, lost luggage (still haven’t been able to locate with Iberia Airlines) just about everything that could go wrong went wrong. I contacted Chalet Saudida to let them know we were still coming just a lot later not realizing the office closed at 10:00 pm. Thank goodness Cynthia was working that day. We arrived about 10:45pm but Cynthia was still there. She stayed until after 11:00pm to make sure we knew where to park, how to get in if we went out, where our rooms were, she was the best thing that happened to us in a 72 hour time frame. What an asset Cynthia is to the property and a great representative for the Chalet Saudida. Thank you Cynitha you get a 10 star plus rating"

The are right in the centre of the old town which offers many dinning options on all budgets. The hotel is hard to find as the old town is situated behind barriers which requires a QR code to enter which is supplied by the hotel an hour prior to arrival.
