Hotel Contessa was very nice and in a great location. The bathrooms are a little outdated and one of the elevators wasn’t working at checkout time. We weren’t in a rush, but others were getting frustrated. Valet area is a bit congested, but overall hotel is very nice, clean, and friendly staff. The Mariachi band in the bar area on Saturday night was lots of fun!

We enjoyed our stay at the hotel. Checking was smooth and easy. The pool is on the rooftop and has a great view of the city. The rooms are nice and comfortable. My only complaint is that one of the elevators was out so it was pretty congested getting around and when we tried calling down to the front desk in the morning there was no answer. We tried for an extended timeframe and never got an answer. Maybe short staffed? Getting the vehicle from valet after checkout was also a bit of a wait. Will possibly return in the future.
