10/10 Excellent

"Cerca de todo atención única de Marissa única la verdad excelente. Y el concierge muy amable también todo 5 estrellas"

Hotel Lombardy

10/10 Excellent

"Room was great and included everything I could need (one exception - full length mirror!!). Great service from front desk. All parking is valet. Bed was lush and very comfortable. Did notice that the carpet is coming up on the front stairs to the lobby - made it difficult to bring luggage up to check in (and did notice another guest trip). Doors are old and a little tricky to lock. AC/fan was great. Plenty of towels, complimentary water bottles. Otherwise great stay!"
