Great location in Old Town. Roof top room overlooked the ocean. Room was very clean and big. The included breakfast was wonderful as we looked out on the water and beach. We were able to check in early after an overnight flight and have breakfast too. We enjoyed the adults only atmosphere. Would easily stay here again.

The location in old town was excellent as was the amazing sea view. The staff was lovely and helpful. Unfortunately, the bed had a top sheet and no blanket/duvet. There were comforters in a closet but we had no idea if they were previously used so did not use them. The towels were subpar and had a few holes in them. Our air conditioning never really kicked in and it was hot. For location, staff and view I would stay there. Know that other things in the room are not 4 stars.
