"Very nice hotel that is centrally located. We walked everywhere during the day. Close to central market, central avenue, museums, parks, and restaurants. We did not walk around after dark due to safety concerns, but really enjoyed the happy hour at the hotel. Oscar makes some great drinks. The strawberry daiquiris, margaritas, and mojitos are delicious. We also appreciated the daily breakfast. It is very good. All of the hotel staff are very kind and helpful. We had a fantastic time and...

"We had a lovely time at the country inn! Made for a perfect stop after a long flight. They even let us check in early which was amazing! Easy to drive to other food but the restaurant at the hotel was great too! I don’t know about walking distance from other things it is situated next to many other hotels so I’d say maybe not walkable? Pool is a nice place to relax good sun, surrounded by plant life so not much city noise which was cool."

Dunn Inn

Dunn Inn

5/5 Excellent
"Aesthetically pleasing and comfortable hotel with a tasty (though surprisingly empty) restaurant. Comfortable beds and good air conditioning. The area outside feels quiet and safe and is about a ten minute walk from the major tourist sights downtown. Some very good restaurants within a five minute radius. Our shower floor was very slippery so people with mobility issues may want to beware - I'm athletic/able-bodied and almost slipped twice. Overall a great stay and I'd definitely stay here again!"
