This was a nice place to stay for a few nights. While it wasn't in the middle of the old town it was within a 1-mile walk to all the attractions. The room was spacious and modernly furnished. When we arrived it was at the end of the heat wave, the room only had 1 small window which did not provide any cooling. Further, there is no air conditioning or fan in the room to help with the heat. As this was one of the hottest times on record this may not be an issue for other guests.
Overall we really enjoyed our stay; the 4-star rating is based on how warm the room was in the evening...oh yeah...forgot about the super loud and crazy-sounding birds that are in the canal. They sounded like the joker and the first night we woke up like "WTF is that?"
