Anonymous, Dec 2017
Pros (+) Hotel is in a very nice location; Very courteous staff; Canal area is breathtaking
Cons (-) I would not recommend using third party company (i.e getaroom.com) to make a reservation. They typically do not have a direct connection with the hotel which will delay getting your reservation confirmed at the property. It happen to me. I had to wait over hour to get confirmation of my room reservation.
