The room was a little old in terms of furniture and there were some areas in the bathroom that look rusty which can reflect some lack of maintenance. The personal ay front desk was very kind and the breakfast option were very good but limited. The parking was on a separate space from the hotel but it works I could definitely try this hotel again based on the fact the hotel is in process of refurbishment and this should kept the hotel up to date.

Rooms are clean. Bathroom in our room needs some upgrade. Rotten wood, old shower. I noticed the building is under construction. Overall they are nice and helpful the fact that they have free parking was a plus. not many hotels provide it. Not recommended if you are planning to walk to city center.

Really enjoyed our stay here.. it is a convenient location, a short walk from the centre. We had a car and it was great to be able to easily park in their car park beside the hotel. All of the staff are very friendly, always helpful to share their knowledge of the town. The hotel itself is a very authentic traditional building.. the rooms were very clean and comfortable. The breakfast areas is also very comfortable with a nice selection of mexican food or pancakes and fruit..

This hotel is undergoing major renovation. We didn't know it when we booked and the hammering never stopped until 7pm. The "Junior Suite" turned out to be a rather cramped, windowless room, but there was a king bed, as promised, good pillows and everythng was so new that the lights were still hanging out of the ceiling, waiting for fixtures. The owner is a pleasant guy who is rightfully proud of the changes they are making and he helped me a little with the price to compensate for the discomforts. Good breakfast and safe parking included. Easy walking to Centro. I recommend.

The rooms were being remodeled. The hotel property is nice. There’s no AC and no elevator so you have to walk stairs to get to your room. They only give you one water bottle, one soap bar and a small shampoo bottle. There’s also a small dirt lot next to hotel for parking and it was pretty full most of the time. The staff was kind and polite. For a last minute hotel it was an ok stay.

Read my whole review. Our 1st room on the 4th level was bad. Door handle falling off, tv remote not able to turn off the tv. Night stand lamp missing the knob, could not turn on. We complained and the next day they moved us to a modernized room. That one was great. Breakfast was average. Staff very polite and attentive. Quaint building that is peaceful. Good part of town.
