My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and not-so-great experiences. The rooms were nice and comfortable, although lacking some features like the Juliet balcony. Street noise was noticeable, and the view didn't match the room's price. However, the service was excellent, exceeding my expectations. The location was convenient, although the constant weddings were a bit disruptive. The dining experience was average, with some understaffing issues. Facilities were decent overall.

Even though the hotel was bustling with parties and celebrations on the rooftop, our room below was surprisingly quiet. The suite we got, although a bit small for a suite, was still peaceful amidst the resort fee activities. The location downtown was unbeatable, with lively restaurants and shops nearby, making it a great launching point for day trips in the area. However, the balcony turned out to be much smaller than expected, with an additional cost that didn't seem worth it.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were a good size with comfortable four-poster beds, but without the Juliet balcony this time. However, the bathroom felt small and dated. The street noise was bothersome at times.

The hotel offers elegantly decorated rooms that fit beautifully with the historical building, featuring comfortable four-poster beds. However, the rooms are overpriced for their relatively modest quality and were not made up on the first night. The service is excellent, with friendly and professional staff serving happy hour snacks. The location is superb, walking distance to key attractions but may require some TLC. The dining experience lacks enough staff presence and is not included in the rate. The facilities are good overall.

The hotel exudes a lovely Moroccan/Spanish charm with a heavenly canopied bed and beautiful furnishings. However, the room size may feel a bit small, and the lack of blackout drapes could be bothersome for some. The outstanding service and cozy, classy room make up for any minor room issues. While the location is ideal in the heart of downtown, some seating areas might need a little TLC. Dining experiences can be improved due to understaffing, but the European dishes are a highlight. Overall, a charming stay with some room for enhancement.
