No high end experience

I was under the impression that this was a high end hotel due to the cost and photos. I was disappointed in the appearance of the room. Bedroom was tiny with door hitting into bed. Bathroom also tiny. Room was located in front corner of hotel. Street and pedestrian noise. Pool was nice and clean but little to no room around the pool. Restaurants kitchen door opened only 4 ft from swimming pool. There being a restaurant in the middle of the hotel felt odd. Having people dine right next to the pool felt strange. Good location but not a very nice hotel.

The picture is not at all what it looks like. We were very disappointed. It’s old, no elevators and the stairs are so steep, it’s dangerous. You’re in the middle of a restaurant, absolutely not worth the $700 price tag for a weekend!

Good location, you can walk right to the beach in 3 minutes. Good price for the area. If you are a sound sleeper, this could be a nice hotel option. Because it's an older hotel the windows are not great at keeping the noise down and it's a very busy area. They did some vacuuming at 6 am which seems a little inconsiderate to me. The staff is very nice.

An unusual complex of buildings with rooms leading off the central courtyard which houses various independent small businesses, the hotel pool and Miguel’s restaurant. The reception staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful. Our room was a one bedroom suite with separate living room, kitchen and dinning area. Surprisingly roomy and contained everything if you need. It is a good location for the shops and restaurants and 3 min walk to the beach

I really liked how close to the beach it was. Miguels is one of our fav restaurants and is on premises. Parking was $40/night for a garage or you could opt for street parking. For a historic inn it was in pretty good shape and we really enjoyed our stay in the 2 bedroom unit

Staying at this hotel felt like being transported to a serene Spanish villa. It had that perfect balance of elegance and warmth that made it feel less like a hotel and more like a home away from home. The staff was also genuinely friendly and welcoming.
