The hotel is on a safe, quiet street and has a beautiful entryway and staircase. There are some great restaurants within a block. The rooms are small, but this was ok for us as we spent all day exploring and only came back to sleep. The beds are comfortable, with clean white linens and a light blanket which was perfect for the first week of June. The pillows were pretty flat so I was happy to have my little temperpedic travel pillow. The windows were large and opened to a nice view of the surrounding city and to spy the lives of the seagulls and Indian ringneck parrots building there nests in palms across the street. There are outdoor shutters which can be closed to block the light of the hotel sign that shown into our window. Nice for subtle light, but too green to sleep with. The downsides are as follows: the room smelled a little of air freshener, though this aired out when we opened the windows for a while. There was a slight smell in the hallway, and in the room itself, of must. We had to take an allergy pill the second night and this helped.
A safety issue: low rail outside the unscreened window. It is not high enough to keep a child safe if they accidentally leaned over too far or climbed to look over.
Also, when the windows are open, flies & moths fly in and out.
While the hotel met our basic needs and is in a great spot, I willopt to try another hotel next time and book farther ahead to get a more reasonable rate.
The breakfast was so so. Espresso machine broken
