I recently stayed at Hotel 1492 and while there were some notable drawbacks, I found enough positives to consider coming back in the future. The location is excellent, offering easy access to local restaurants and beautiful parks. However, the noise from the nearby train tracks and some disrepair in the room left me wanting more. Overall, the friendly service and charming atmosphere made my trip enjoyable despite the issues.
