The historic building offers a mix of traditional charm and modern convenience, with air conditioning and comfortable beds.

charming stay
clean roomcomfy bednice outlookdistant bathroom
I found the location quite nice. A short, beautiful walk along the coastline leads to the salamanca area. rooms are very clean and set up well. beds are comfy with nice cotton crisp sheets. my room had a pleasant residential local outlook.
i was aware i booked a shared bathroom room but i was not aware how far away it was from my room and how many people would share it. despite stating parking for those staying at the hotel, it's clearly open to anyone. i had to park a fair walk away. it was not ideal
