Ok the Eagles, didn't say that. But it is the type of Hotel that you envision when you listen to the song. When I first booked this hotel I had serious reservations--pardon the pun--there were many reviews of people who found it charming and many people had rated it just above a cockroach hotel. My expectations were not very high for a whopping $40 a night. We found the hotel to be exactly that: a charming hotel with cockroaches, and geckos, and ants, and birds. It is a very charming 200 year old building. It once used to be a monastery and was turned into a hotel in 1900. The accommodations were nice, not Hyatt nice, but nice. Just don't think about the ants or cockroaches. The service is impeccable! NOT!!!!

The architecture is really fun to look at when there is not a down poor.
The hotel has two toucan birds. Sydney has made friends with them. Sydney and the birds communicate with urt noises---I really don't know how to spell urt.

The arches of the hotel.
The massive trees outside of the hotels with the sunshine streaming through. This is also the place where ants (hormigas) attacked Jay and Natalie. They bit us, and made our feet feel like they were on fire. We really understand know why people might dance a bit with these guys in your pants.
