Hotel histórico, staff super atencioso e prestativo!

It was ok. For the hype it wasn’t worth it and nothing was done to make our anniversary special.
Pros:

I liked the building’s historical design

Cons:

I didn’t like the “ amenities “ charge of 40 dollars for things I didn’t use . Basically a tax for nothing and I don’t think it’s appropriate given that these things are paid for when booking the room.
