Clean, friendly, historic, & well situated near the heart of the city, with an abundance of great food both in the establishment & nearby. Angra do Heroísmo provides one of the few cultural & "metropolitan" opportunities on the islands & the hotel proved to be a great "jumping off" point for these endeavors. My only negative critique of the hotel is that they need to modernize & update the actual rooms to keep up with the tech-savvy reality that the modern traveler both needs & expects. Nevertheless, I recommend turning off most of all the electronics at the first opportunity & indulging in the history that this hotel represents.
