8/10 Good
"Beautiful property well maintained. We were 3 travelers who had a hard time finding a rooms with 3 beds. Our room overlooked the plaza which was awesome especially at night. Watching the people eating and shopping at night was especially enjoyable. Loved the people so nice and love to talk. One thing that took some getting used to, were the elevators which are very small compared to America. A/C went out on the last day, but we open the window and had a 50-degree breeze blowing in so it was very nice. I would highly recommend as a place to stay."
