Pros:

This was a great hotel- lovely rooms , lovely pool and lovely staff. Great location- near beach , harbour and funk zone and short walk to State street. Ideal if you arrive by train- it’s only a short walk.

Cons:

A double sink would have been great in bedroom.

Great place for a comfortable and cozy stay
Pros:

The building is very nice, very clean and organized. Parking was easy, check-in as well. Really appreciated the snack bar with cookies and coffee, that makes a difference for sure. Rooms were spacious and comfortable, very clean as well. Beds and pillows very comfortable as well. The pool and jacuzzi were small, but it wouldn’t be a dealbreaker to be honest. I even ordered from Amazon and they were kind enough to put in in my room.

Cons:

The luggage carts could do some maintenance, since they’re squeaky and shaky.
