I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms next to us looked superb and were very clean and very comfortable, though our own room was nothing special. The service was top-notch, especially when they packed us a takeaway breakfast for our early tours and went beyond to assist us in hiring a car. The hotel is located on a pedestrian street that leads to the main plaza, making it easy to get everywhere we were going. The dining experience was enjoyable with traditional local products. Facilities were satisfactory, providing everything we needed.
