Kristine Brazil

Very comfortable room, larger in the room and bathroom than any other booking we’ve had in past 2 months. Very good breakfast, very accommodating Staff. The first shower the drain wasn’t working, Bernardo was excellent about having it fixed immediately, and kept us informed! Has an elevator. Wonderful location with an exceptional cafe kitty corner to the hotel, to die for pastries and good prices. We would definitely return!!
