Beautiful colonial hotel, friendly staff

The mattresses are not great. Also, the metal steps leading into the pool are broken. Also the light around the bathroom mirror is ineffective.

Great building and staff, room had issues

This was my third stay at the Hotel Morales; the last one was a few years ago. The hotel itself is historical and beautiful, located downtown close to many historical sites. I enjoyed the buffet breakfast daily. All staff in the hotel were excellent. The rooftop pool was nicely renovated and updated, and a nice temperature. The room I was assigned was not in the main building, and it was lacking in several ways; I should have asked for a different room, but I had not really realized the issues until the second day. The room had a terrible smell from the plumbing, the sink and shower drained very poorly, the bed was probably the softest and most worn mattress I've slept on in years, the dresser drawers didn't stay closed. Pros: the a/c worked well and quietly, the desk chair was very comfortable, and the in-room safe easily held everything needed and seemed secure.

Everything was perfect for us. the staff was super attentive and polite. The breakfast was a wonderful and delicious value. Our room was facing the street, which we loved for ambience but could be a little noisy if you want complete quiet at night and the breeze with the windows open. We highly recommend.
