We stayed at thus hotel 15 years ago. The age is showing. Whike still nice it isn't up to the standards i expected. Also, be aware that the pillows are terrible. I woke up throughout the night and had a terrible back ache each morning.

Very nice hotel, excellent location, great staff. Our flight back home was delayed for 48 hours, and Guadalupe and Kevin from the hotel Front Desk were of great help in sorting out this problem. The hotel has a very nice restaurant. Our waiter, Sara provided great service
