So this is a budget property. Does what it says on the tin. A/c in room is fine - bed comfy - rooms small - bathroom even smaller. Like most of Casco no lifts to rooms. But for overnight - great location.

The power went out in the building for hours. The toilet wouldn’t flush, the a/c wouldn’t work and there was no light. I chose to stay at another hotel and they refused to refund me the night stay despite the condition of the property. Expedia was of no help and made promise to help but never came through.

The first room we were in on first floor we could not sleep as the neighbors were playing loud music in the street. The front desk stated this occurs all the time and all they can do is call the police. They did this many times over 3 days. We liked the first floor room as the bathroom was in the room too. But could not stand the noise. When we came back at end of week we were on 3rd floor. There is no elevator so let’s just say our legs got a workout. Javier was amazing and brought our biggest luggage up for us. The bedroom was nice but the bathroom was accross the hall. Tiny hot bathroom as no air conditioning in it and the shower was strange with a wood slat floor. The maids came up there to get stored linens and were noisy. One maid walked into our room even though a do not disturb sign was on door. I slipped on the floors in kitchen as it was just mopped but no sign put up to let me know. I will say the staff there were incredible. They make up for any shortcomings for sure.

Lugar muy bueno para el precio pagado. Ubicado en el centro del casco histórico, rodeado de restaurantes y las principales atracciones. El staff muy amable y siempre dispuesto a ayudar. Tiene la opción de tours gratis (basado en propinas) a pie en la parte del centro, lo cual sirve de mucha ayuda para conocer la zona y la historia. Sin dudas lo recomiendo

Magnolia Inn es un Hostal con solo algunas habitaciones individuales con baño privado, pero su línea de servicio es la de un Hostal, si espera un hotel formal con todos los servicios que un hotel provee (Servicio Diario de limpieza, amenidades en la habitación, desayuno, etc) este lugar no es para usted. El personal es agridulce, la mayoría muy atento, pero algunos tienen cualidades limitadas de servicio al cliente. El edificio es hermoso, bien ambientado en general, en una zona muy bien ubicada en el casco viejo detrás de la catedral, No hay ascensor, y las habitaciones individuales están en el 4to piso por lo que debe ir preparado para subir 70 escalones cada vez que entre.
