My only issue was that housekeeping didn’t bother to knock before entering to make sure the room was empty on checkout day. It happened twice. Otherwise terrific room and location. Easy walking distance for shopping and dining on the plaza. Definitely will consider staying here again.

Excellent location. Dreary room

The location was wonderful. Only two blocks from the plaza. Tons of shops, cafes, restaurants, and the historic churches and Palace of the Governors. The room needs to be updated. The living room was dark with only one light and one lamp. The lamp needs to be thrown away as it is unstable. The bedroom does not have a tv in it. Was kind of a dreary suite compared to most hotels I've stayed at over the years.

Place is very old, needs updating. No ice machine except in the lobby, which was forever away from us. Place felt dirty, towels were dingy and had stains on them!
