8.4/10 Very Good! (841 reviews)
The hotel was very nice and clean, but we booked for the pool and it is not a hotel pool - it is an affiliated health club pool - and the staff were extremely rude to the kids. There is nowhere to sit. This is not a hotel to book hoping for a fun family time between tours.

The hotel was in. A great spot with views of the Spanish arch and the bay. It is right at the beginning of the Latin district. The hotel was clean and the staff was great. The water pressure in the shower was a low.
