“The architectural bones hint at a charming Spanish colonial revival, close to the beach and the Funk Zone's dining scene. But, reports of neglected upkeep raise concerns about the execution of the boutique hotel experience. For travelers prioritizing location and historical aesthetic, it might still appeal, but with tempered expectations.”
