The Great House

Not What I Expexted.

Ventajas: The property has a great location, free parking, and a easy, welcoming check-in. It is close to some of the better restaurants in Belize City, along with a quick walk to the Caye Ferries.

Desventajas: The room was uncomfortably unclean. From hair around the sink and on towels, to visible stains on the sheets, and a musty, unclean smell, I had a very uneasy stay and a restless night. Further, there was a significantly slow drain in the bathtub, resulting in the tub being 33% full only a few minutes after turning on the shower. Some may not mind this, but it is my biggest hotel pet peeve. I would not book this property again, or recommend it based on my night there.

Ventajas: It's in a converted colonial mansion, which is very charming. The wide porch is amazing in the evening. Room and reservation ready on arrival. Room was very clean.

Desventajas: It's in a converted colonial mansion, with all the quirks of an old house. There's an odd split thing going on whereby the bottom-floor stuff (restaurant, bar, some other stuff) is not at all connected with the hotel. It doesn't seem to be a great location, but it's not clear that there would be a better location in Belize City. Contrary to some listings, there is no airport shuttle (not necessarily a negative of the place, but a shortcoming of the listings).

Desventajas: Much smaller than the photos make you believe. Much noisier than expected.

Ventajas: Good air conditioning, local charm

Desventajas: A lot of Mosquitos in the restaurant - definitely put on insect repellent before eating. Food and room were a little expensive
