Unfortunately badly run, there are many better options in the area at the same price. It may have been great at some stage but not anymore. Sofitel and La Capagne outshine this by 3 stars!

I would stay here again. This is a great hotel in a wonderful location. The staff is excellent. I loved thr bathroom rain shower. The food in the dining room is reasonably priced and delicious. The club attached to the hotel is very intimate and we saw a great show. Good food and drinks too. The pool is a wading pool and has a couple of missng tiles. The church bells across the street ring from 630am to sround 10pm. Casco Viejo is a great place to stay. It was like the New Orleans French Quarter but cleaner and without Bourbon street.

A classy, historic retreat located in the center of the old city district. What makes it stand out is its extraordinary staff. You immediately become their family and they will do everything they can to assure you have a joyful experience. For instance, one night a pianist was just finishing up when I came down to the lobby. When he learned I love piano music, he offered to play another set of my favorite melodies. And he turns out to be their food and beverage manager as well, so I was invited to their jazz club that night!

An excellent location with a pleasant colonial design. Staff are attentive and security is very visible. Rooms are rustic colonial with nice views but can be noisy (with street and church noise). Restaurant and attached coffee shop feature a good variety of quality choices.
