Great location with lovely staff

Stayed on 2nd floor with front and side windows. Lots of noise in the park across the road but the windows and a/c block it. Staff is excellent, cold breakfast had lots of options and for an extra 8F you could have scrambled eggs. Great location to walk to everything.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
While the property was incredibly convenient in terms of its location, we had issues finding parking nearby and our room was very hot. When we tried to use the A/C, the machine started to leak and did not stop for 12 hours. I woke up with a sore throat likely from moisture. When we checked out the next morning and let them know about this issue, they said that it’s been happening in our unit. Why rent out a room that you know is having water issues?? The hotel was definitely not fully booked. It’s a beautiful property with great staff, but not worth the price considering what we had to go through with water issues. I woke up sick and my husband barely slept from the constant drip of the A/C unit. It was the most expensive place we stayed on our entire road trip through Switzerland and Italy and we were pretty disappointed.

We had a nice room with a great bathroom. The room seemed newly renovated. The hotel was being renovated during our stay but was not a problem at all. The staff was friendly and breakfast was really good. It is a short walk to the water and to shopping/ dining. The bus stops right out front making it convienidnt to get to locations such as Mount Bre and Mount San Salvador.
