Bom para viagem turística

Vou ser bem detalhista para ajudar outras pessoas Pontos positivos: hotel bem limpo, com ótima localização (bem no centro, dá para fazer tudo a pé). Equipe sempre bem prestativa. Café e chá à vontade durante o dia. Eles fazem de tudo para te atender suas solicitações. Arquitetura bem detalhista e chamativa. Pontos negativos: sempre tem somente 1 funcionário na propriedade, então se vários hóspedes estão com demandas ao mesmo tempo, você terá que esperar um bocado. Para pagar no cartão, aumenta 12% do valor. Achei que o quarto não veda muito bem a temperatura, que estava baixa e passei frio. O café da manhã é oferecido sem possibilidade de escolha, e apesar de ser bem feito e gostoso, pode ser ruim para pessoas com condições especiais: meu pai é diabético e teve que comprar algumas coisas no mercado (abacate, pão integral ...) para ajustar para sua situação de saúde. A internet realmente não é boa, tive muita dificuldade para usar na propriedade. Para mim isso foi a pior coisa da estadia, pois cancelaram meu voo e tive que pedir para meu marido em outro país remarcar o voo, já que eu não tinha internet suficiente para entrar no site. Não consegui trabalhar na propriedade por conta disso. Eu voltaria para uma viagem de casal ou passeio. Não voltaria para uma viagem de trabalho, pois não há mesa no quarto e boa wifi.

Excellent place to stay

This is a wonderful place to stay! I had Room #14, and it is beautiful, spacious, and quiet. I slept the best I ever have during my 5 night stay here. The breakfast is good, and the staff is so helpful. Although they do not speak English, it is not a problem, because they will speak slowly or write things down for you so that you can better understand. In my case, the owner was even kind enough to arrange for me to go to the Ingapirca ruins for the day with another guest who was going by himself who spoke both English and Spanish. It was a perfect match and a great day! The hotel is centrally located and in a very safe area. I highly recommend this hotel, and will definitely stay here again. It's a good value for your money.

Nice place

I stayed on the third floor, which allowed me to have a window. Most of the rooms appear not to have a window so might be a little stuffy. The breakfast area is in the central area so it can be a bit noisy in the morning. On the plus side, comfortable beds, good wifi and it is decorated in a very charming way.

Charming Hotel in Heart of Historic District

We felt welcome from the time we walked in the door. The staff was amazing, especially Erika and Katy. Staying here felt like going back in time, but with all the amenities like Wifi and hot water. The hotel is located right in the middle of the Historic District so you can walk out the door to find churches, shops, and restaurants. We would definitely stay there again.

outrageously inconsiderate staff, lies re: refunds

Hotel photographs far, far better than the service you will eventually get. If you are an exhibitionist, request room #9. It has a full sized window from the shower and bathroom into the outside public hall. Not a tinted, or colored, or frosted, or even a shaded window. A full on window for people to view each other. My first two nights went fine. The rooms are very clean and the breakfasts were very good. The third night, the night watchman decided to have a private party, while I was the only guest in the hotel. He invited people over at midnight, and they were feasting until 12:30AM, when I called. They slowed down slightly until 1AM, when I complained again. That is when four showers started running, and someone decided it was a reasonable time to start washing dishes in the kitchen below. The hotel owner apologized and promised to refund the last night's stay. Of course, that did not happen. No one even bothered to deny that this happens. So if you do not particularly care about having a good night's sleep, by all means. If you have some basic expectations, then by all means avoid this hotel.
