The hotel is very quaint and centrally located. The rooms are clean and the staff is very helpful. The complementary breakfast was delicious. They do offer free parking but it's 3 blocks away. I just parked on the street but you do need to pay, munipay, via there website. M-F its $10 but F-S its $20. Overal it's a good hotel. Would recommend.

The staff here were very kind. I loved the food options in the morning, gave me a chance to try Guatemalan dishes as well as other regular favorites. The air conditioning broke during our stay but they were quick and efficient in fixing it by the time we came back to the room. The only issue with the rooms for me is they have very large windows that have very little shading to them so someone could pass by your room and see everything happening inside. There were blinds to cover the window but I was scared of someone being able to peek through. Otherwise, no other issues.

The property is not wheelchair or elderly friendly. I traveled with my 78 year old mother who had knee surgery and cannot go up stairs easily. I had requested the hotel provide a downtstairs room. They said they had no 2 bed rooms only 3 beds available and it would be an additional $30 more a night. Instead of making the exception for an elderly guest they wanted to charge us more money. The rooftop is where meals are served and was told that they could take my mother’s breakfast to the room. I placed the order and it was NEVER delivered. The hotel is not senior citizen friendly. I was disappointed. Stay at a better hotel for the same price. The location is the only good thing. If you have elderly parents you will understand how frustrating this experience was. Shame on this hotel.

This property is beautiful, especially the rooftop restaurant. The location is great, central to everything. The room is enough for those who are not looking for all the bells and whistles, my need was a place to sleep. The staff was great and accommodating. My only cons are the free parking is a couple a blocks away, getting hot water and maintaining hot water was difficult, and in my room (first floor by the front desk, 101) I found a roach. I believe this isn't the norm.
