Is a old hotel but with the necessary stuff to stay to sleep, I like the area because it was close to the lake, famous stores like Gucci,Prada,etc …also is in the middle of the town where you can find a lot of cafes to eat or others restaurants. It was nice to be there.

Ideal location
The location was perfect. Our room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The downside was that the ceiling fan and lights in our room did not work, and the bedding was too small for the bed. The top sheet and comforter were not wide enough to cover two people.

Location is excellent and the manager was great to accommodate our request to change our room. The setup in this hotel was odd and two rooms had a sharing bathroom which was next to our room. Every time they used the bathroom we could hear the flushing and bathroom door. The second night the manager changed our room to different floor and we had a good night sleep.

Poor hotel. The room we stayed didn't look like what's pictured. Extremely hot in the room, over 90, just a very loud fan.

Great location. Breakfast included which was just ok. The WiFi is free but the wifi can be a little slow. The walls are very thin and you can hear everything. The space is very small. No water given and the room was all little stuffy.

It is right in the center of the historic part of town. Easy walking to city buses. A block from the lake. A special surprise was a horn quartets performance next door at an old church that echoed throughout the neighborhood.

Very basic accommodation - tired interior and bizarre bathroom arrangements. Friendly staff though!
