"I rented a room for 2 people ; everything was perfect, the room was very spacious, but it only have one chair. A small armchair or an extra chair was really missing; if you want to eat you have to do it on the bed. It was very uncomfortable. I realized later that the photos of the rooms show a couple eating on the bed, but I hadn't thought about that at the time."

10/10 Excellent
"We were looking for a pet-friendly hotel. My son works in the hotel industry and he suggested this hotel. We were quite impressed with the customer service, the fact that the hotel does not charge a pet fee and the beauty of the hotel. The only thing we didn't care for was the restaurant Caya. The atmosphere and live music were wonderful, but the food was not very tasty. That wouldn't stop us from coming back because there are many food locations within walking distance from the hotel. We also chose a room with a patio which was nice because we could sit outside our room and enjoy the live music and relaxing ambiance."
