This is my second time staying at this establishment and I can honestly say the staff is well attentive to guests needs even during new ownership and renovations. They keep the hotel clean and safe and are always available to answer any questions you may have. Alfonso and Andrea are the perfect duo with an amazing team supporting them. Big improvement over the previous management.
