The hotel rooms were comfortable and clean, but noise from the busy street could be a nuisance at times. The location was excellent for exploring the city on foot, although some noise from nearby establishments could be heard. The dining options were satisfactory, and the hotel offered a colonial view near a beautiful church. The staff provided good service overall, but there were inconsistencies with room readiness upon arrival.
