the location was perfect. i could easily walk to the vieux-port in just ten minutes (it was awesome!). the hotel also had ample free parking. the room was well-equipped with everything i needed.
the air conditioning wasn't working . i think it was due to hotel policy, and my room got uncomfortably warm during the night.
