raquella, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hotel was cute, clean, and in a great location. However the breakfast service was a bit messy, as orders weren’t kept track of, and the staff would leave dirty plates, utensils, and food from other patrons on the table without cleaning them for a very long time, leaving them next to new diners for almost the entire meal.

Pros: great location, cons, pretty run down, needs updating. we asked for maid service on door, never happened. New towels/cleaned room would have made a difference. Breakfast was a bit average, nothing special.
