"Cute retro hotel, walking distance to San Pedro Square with every Restaurant you want and bars. Jr suites are a perfect stay with meters in front or you will pay a lot for Valet. Nice staff who made our stay amazing so we stayed another night and went to Christmas in the park. No bar but they said March it’s reopening. Plenty of places to go near by!!"
