Mirabello Hotel

Mirabello Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The Mirabello Hotel was situated right downtown and close to everything: shopping, restaurants, museums, bus stops, ocean front! However it was just off the beaten path enough to be very quiet! The perfect scenario! The staff was so very helpful with giving directions, suggestions and answering any questions at all! My 17 year old grandson wanted to watch FIFA and it was on in the middle of the night, so the clerk invited him to watch the game on the big screen tv in the lobby with him! He loved it! Would definitely recommend staying here!"
