Excellent location close to the entrance to Sequia. Rooms are on the smaller side, but very clean and equipped with everything you need. Friendly employees. Food and cocktails at the restaurant were very good. Reservations are requested. We ate there both nights of our stay. I could see parking being a little tight during the high season, due to the popularity of the restaurant, but we had no trouble at the end of April. Would definitely stay again
