Nice people, poor English. Some use translator apps. Whole facility is pretty, clean & modern. Excellent bed, pillows and linen. Biggest shower I have ever seen! Large bathroom. Desk,1 chair, chest, night stands, frig. A/C worked well, once the desk clerk came and showed us that we had to use our key card to make it & the Sony TV turn on!. Restaurant serves breakfast only, but there are many small (clean) restaurants and shops nearby. The hotel is in a neighborhood, great for walking. Two blocks from a major Metro terminal. Street side would be noisy, the back side is not unless the neighbors have a party! They are repaving the street right now, made it hard for the cabs, but still ok for walking. Would definitely stay here again.

Short stop overnight prior to a flight.

Pros: Convenience.
Cons: An ice station. I would have rather not walked out into the night to get a bottle of chilled water.
Location: Good central location, pharmacies, clinics, beauty and barber serves, restaurants all within walking distance.
Easy access to surrounding El Congrejo district. Easy to grab a cab to the airport. Nice room. Just wish there had been ice available. Convenience

Extremely unsatified

Pros: NOTHING!!! They could not give us extra towels because they said they didn't have any or small towels.
Cons: EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!
This hotel is inexpensive, but they lack customer service skills. The employees were not helpful whatsoever and only one iron for the enitre hotel. They do not have bell boy or luggge caddy, once again personnel do not go out of their way to help. We left the hotel at 4am, no one was in the lobby but a male employee, we asked him to hlep us bring down our luggage from the lobby to the street to get a cab and he said he couldn't help us. He had to stay put, meanwhile my 65 year mother and I had to fend for ourselves. It was awful awful awful!!!!!! At 4 am it was hard to get a taxi, we asked the male employee to help us by calling a taxi company and he said he did not have any numbers.

There are better places at about same price

Pros: room was quiet.
Cons: Service
Location: Location is good, many restaurants etc. But Coral Suites is a block away.
No staff to help with bags, no initial explanation of how to use door key with lights. Bathroom small. Wake up call was 10 min. late. We would not stay here again. Stayed one night at Coral Suites and it was a much nicer,bigger room,etc. About same price.
