The cafe had excellent service. I especially liked axel and daniella. robert, the concierge, was helpful and provided free tequila shots upon arrival. he also gave helpful information about tours and restaurants.
the room lacked a window facing outside, preventing natural light from entering. the bed was squeaky, and it impacted my sleep on the first night. i asked for a fix, but nothing changed, so i had to pull the mattress away from the headboard.
