Better than expected

The hotel is on the edge of the old city of La Serena but was generally quiet (except for the Saturday night when a function downstairs went on until at least 4AM). The hotel is under major renovation and work seemed to be going on everywhere. My room was newly renovated and quite nice. Parking was secure. The restuarant was adequate but not inspiring. There are few restaurants in the old city open in the evening; everything is at the beach a couple of kilometres away.

Hôtel très bien situé dans La SERENA, petite agréable et accueillante. Mérite le détour. Accueil de l'hôtel en travaux. Ne pas s'y arrêter un jour férié. Pas de responsable pour résoudre les différents.
