Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is a cozy place in the heart of Georgetown with a welcoming atmosphere and some room for improvement in the dining options. The friendly staff and comfortable rooms make for a pleasant stay, though the balcony might need some attention. The location is convenient but lacks vibrant street life right outside.
This hotel truly exceeded my expectations! The rooms were cozy and clean, and the staff was incredibly attentive and friendly. However, the visible dirt on the carpet was a bit off-putting, and the balcony was a nice touch. The location was perfect for exploring nearby tourist attractions, although the lack of street life was noticeable. The dining experience was exceptional with mouth-watering dishes, and the facilities were top-notch.
The hotel is situated in a cozy Georgetown area, offering a central location to everything in the city. The rooms are clean and comfortable, although the balcony was broken. The staff provides excellent customer service, yet the price for certain services might not be the best value. Dining options include an octopus millefeuille, adding a touch of luxury to the experience.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. The location is superb, right in the heart of the lively Georgetown area. The rooms were spacious, modern, and had fantastic balconies with a stunning water view. The service was top-notch with incredibly helpful staff always ready to assist. However, the dining options were a bit limited. The facilities were excellent, making my stay truly comfortable and memorable.
The hotel had a mixed experience with clean and comfortable rooms but needed improvements in the dining options. The staff was friendly and helpful. The location was decent but lacked street life. The facilities were well-maintained, providing a satisfactory stay.
I couldn't ask for a better location, being right on the river and close to the mall. The rooms were comfortable, but the balcony was a real treat. The service was exceptional, especially at the restaurant. The dining was superb with delicious Mexican dishes. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay truly enjoyable.
