"Beautiful, colonial style building and the staff were friendly. One issue is that there’s no elevator, but the staff are willing to help take the luggage up the stairs. Two, the hotel faces the plaza, which is scenic, but picks up a lot of nighttime noise. If you are a light sleeper, this might not be the best place for you. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would recommend."
