Ganz nett, aber einige Mängel bei guter zentraler Lage
Pros:

Schöner Innenhof, zentrale Lage in der Altstadt von Leon.

Cons:

Die Zimmer sind dunkel; kleine vergitterte Fenster, mit Pflanzen direkt vor dem Fenster; icht wirklich schön. Dazu fehlen für ein 4 Sterne Haus einige Dinge: Duschgel, Wasserkocher, Kaffee etc.

Der Fitnessraum muss dringend überarbeitet werden, billige Plastikgeräte und kaum zu gebrauchen.

Der Pool ist viel kleiner als die Bilder vermuten lassen und es gibt genau 2 Liegen ohne Sonnenschutz.

Beautiful Property, Greedy Management and Secure Motorcycle Parking
Pros:

This is a beautiful property in the heart of the city. It has secure parking for my motorcycle, although it is a bit of a walk from the parking to the room. Internet speed is fast, the AC works well,, and the hot water is good.

Cons:

When I checked in it was 1 hour before check-in time, and the clerk told me I could have the room, but I would need to pay an extra $15, which was about 20% of the total cost of the room. I really don't like it when hotels attempt to take advantage of their guests by charging an exorbitant amount to get access to the room one hour early. Since I left the room several hours before check-out time, I'm wondering if I can get a refund on an hourly basis. At $15 an hour, I should get almost a full refund.

Nicely located in the center of Leon
Pros:

Beautiful hotel in historic center. Large rooms around the patio (ours was quiet as facing the patio) and nicely decorated common areas. Small pool that we didn’t use but rather drove to the nearby beach.
The hotel very kindly offered free passes for the nearby art museum - a must see!

Cons:

Breakfast was quite disappointing. Limited offer and look warm food — but we survived 😉
