This hotel is older with all of the 1940’s charm it was originally built with. Staff is very helpful and friendly and the hotel is very clean. It would benefit from some updating in the rooms, but other than that, our stay was comfortable.

Wonderful stay. Staff was exceptionally helpful with a personal emergency that had a positive outcome. Loved the nostalgic feel the property had. Room and beds were very comfortable. They have three restuarants to choose from in the heart of David (breakfast included) I would book again.

We had a nice stay. Our room was clean and breakfast was good. Pool and pool area were quiet and relaxing. We had no hot water and we were supposed to have a ‘terrace’ but our room just had a window.
Loved the artwork on display!

Room was fine, no complaints. Clean, comfortable beds. Easy parking. Breakfast was ok, not great, but it’s included, so again, no complaints. It would have been nice if coffee was available before the breakfast area opened, as it opened a bit later than the advertised 6:30. Room was quiet, shower had good water pressure. Convenient & well-priced option for a one night stay before an early flight. Italian restaurant was decent for dinner.
