Definitely would stay again

We had a few issues when we checked in but the staff took care of it all quickly and they were very apologetic. The room was clean and spacious. Very quiet- we slept unbothered with the windows open. Nice breakfast with plenty of courtyard space to enjoy it.

Herlinda, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Location is great, couple blocks back from the beach and some excellent restaurants on State street. It’s smaller which is nice with all open halls to capitalize on the great weather. Really great layout with the second floor courtyard offering shaded seating. Great trip with a great base camp at La Playa.
