Was great. Very clean, nice area with lots of places to eat, etc. The only complaint I have was that there are are two different buildings to hotel is in. One is the one pictured in the picture, the other is across the street, and you have to walk through a bar to get to. Not the feel of walking through a hotel lobby. Not someone there to answer your questions, etc. (you walk across the street for that).

From check in to check out the staff has been helpful and excellent. Room was cleaned and made up every day. All basic amenities you’d expect were there plus water bottles. Comfortable king bed with king pillows. Sunrise was early so black out drapes were appreciated. We were right in the center of Casco Veijo and had easy walks to every thing on the area tours. Nice place to stay
