We liked how close the hotel was to the downtown. Nice view of the river. Our stay was during early spring so we didn't get to enjoy any of the tickets to Natura or the outdoor part of the bar/restaurant but it seems like a good amenities. My only complaint was the paper thin walls. I could hear every single step, cough, and sneeze the people around us did. We got a room right next to the stairs and could hear anytime someone ran up and down the stairs.

This place was fine and did the job. We had two rooms for spring break week. We didn’t realize that the restaurant wouldn’t offer breakfast and lunch in the off season. Also the hotel images showed game rooms from their other facilities. Not deal breakers but these amenities were part of why we chose the hotel. The rooms are quite run down but clean. The pool and sauna and hot tub were nice.

The door to our room did not lock. We had to switch rooms . We were woken up at 2 am by the guests in the next room having a party. Staff did go to the room and tell them to quiet down after I called the front desk. The staff were very helpful with switching rooms it was just an inconvenience since we had reservations and were then late since we had to move everything to another room

Okay visit!

The stay was good however staff was not great, not helpful. Room wasn’t the cleanest. Other guests were extremely loud, screaming and yelling. Was charged an $80 fee but was never explained what it was, even after asking.

Didn’t receive the room we were supposed to get. Bunkbeds awful. Queen beds ok for one night. Would not recommend. Restaurant had good cheesecake. Not worth $140.00. Spend an extra $60.00 an stay at the La Quanta.
