This hotel was great and we enjoyed our stay. It is in the perfect location- close to Old Port but in a quiet area so you can sleep at night. They even have electric bikes complimentary for guests which were so easy to use and allowed us to see more of Old Port since we didn’t have a car. We really loved our stay here and would recommend it!
