"It was a little hard to find the hotel. You should have Google Maps. We just asked the locals. But it was so worth it. Near the Sangra Familia Cathedral. I’ve enjoyed the shopping. The room was large and quiet. The staff brought our luggage up. The shower was great. The bathroom had a bidet. The staff was able to order us a Uber for an early morning ride!!"
