Amazing stay! The staff was absolutely spectacular and treated us incredibly well from start to finish.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room is cute but the bathroom is something else. Mold on the shower, no shelves, and it clearly hasn't been cleaned in a while. The room smells of mildew and stale air, I had to get a candle to cover the smell. The building is clearly old and there are some funny design choices. The staff is minimal but polite. The bartender at the tapas restaurant was rude but he also told me they are not associated with the hotel. Overall, you get what you pay for and this was a lower budget option with the perfect location.

Prime location close to the bar scene and beautiful bay views…but be prepared to hear your neighbors and for slightly uncomfortable beds. More than 1 night may be a little tough at this hotel.
