"During a recent stay at this establishment, my wife and I noted its distinctly eclectic aesthetic upon arrival. While the initial check-in process lacked the warmth we typically expect, we proceeded with our stay. Our accommodations were centrally located, adjacent to a piano, and notably lacked a window. Despite an unsettling initial ambiance, we eventually retired for the night. However, our sleep was disrupted by inexplicable knocking, tapping, and vocalizations, which understandably caused us significant unease. Subsequently, we both distinctly heard a loud growling sound. Shortly thereafter, the room's lights extinguished, only to illuminate as I briefly ascended to the restroom. Consequently, we elected to check out prematurely and secure alternative lodging. For those seeking an immersive experience within a historic, potentially 400-year-old building, this location may be of interest. Furthermore, individuals intrigued by the possibility of paranormal activity might find this to be a unique destination. However, for those who do not share this interest, we would recommend considering alternative accommodations. Sincerely, Shalenna

We had stayed here 10+ years ago. Remembered the subterranean pool, gardens, cool artwork , orchids , parrots etc everywhere. Yeah, the rooms back then were "old fashioned" kinda faded , and it rained through our roof one night, but OK. What SEEMED recent internet pics reassured us, and we thought it was mostly charming the first time. Oops. Not the same as the pics. The downstairs of the former establishment with pool had been sold to the Cannon Club,which is now a restaurant piano bar, loud to the Inn just above we heard. What's left in the small upstairs common areas is dark, dingy, mostly piled up junk. (a small deck and small bar with a nice view is the highlight) The new pool is basically a plunge pool right when you walk in. My wife checked around and found exactly 1 exotic bird, so not what we remember at all. We might've stayed the night, if not for the room. Mosquitos, big water stains, tiny 1950s style bath with shower, all decrepit, 20 year old mattress. Unexpected bonus..there was a window unit type AC! The host was polite about refunding the second night, I suspect this wasn't the first time. We were more than happy to book it to El Convento (which fortunately had availability) the day of our arrival.
