Faraona Grand Hotel

This property exceeded my expectations. It was rated 3 star and was 1/2 the price or more than some of the "luxury" hotels in the area, so I wasn't expecting a lot. The hotel was very nice, but not overwhelming or sterile like some big hotels. There is a quaint bar in the lobby that serves good drinks and a nice restaurant area. The staff is extremely attentive and impeccably dressed. There is always someone to help you with your luggage, the door, any questions you have, and to get you a car if needed. The rooms are clean, bright and comfortable. The water pressure in the shower is great and always had a hot shower. The hotel itself is in a great location. It is on a quiet side street with Kennedy Park right at the end of it. There are a number of bars right on the street that serve drinks, craft beer and causal eats, so you can walk right out the door and into another. Or, you can walk to the end of the street and be in the busy Kennedy Park area with restaurants and stores everywhere you look. The free breakfast was pretty standard, but tasty and what was expected. We came back a few nights and were looking to have drinks in our room rather than sitting at the bar. The bartender was very accommodating and was at our door within minutes with our request. Our flight wasn't until the evening. The staff had no problem storing our luggage for the day and arranged a car for our return to the airport in the evening. Their prices for a car were reasonable also. We stopped at the Sheraton Convention Center to have them arrange a car for us to get back to our hotel, as we weren't feeling great about taxis or Uber. The Sheraton price was ridiculously high compared to the prices our hotel were giving us. We couldn't have been more than happy with our hotel choice and was well worth what we paid and more. I would recommend staying here over any of the 5 star hotels in the area!

I have no complaints. The only thing I can say was that the bed was a little firmer than I prefer, but I was still very comfortable sleeping in it.

The beds and pillows are very comfortable. The breakfast has a nice variety. The staff are very nice and helpful.

On Saturday night... the bars on the street were a bit loud with music. The night before ( friday) it was quiet.

Room clean and nice Breakfast very good
