Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Room was clean and staff was courteous. One thing was the room where we been place was noisy due to the street side and also because was on the third floor. Oswaldo and Oscar from restaurant were very friendly.
Basic but more than acceptable. It’s a place to base yourself to see the city..not for staying and luxuriating in. The wait staff were exceptional..friendly and efficient. The reception staff whilst present were not very efficient. Pos opening myself up to attack, but I think in a hotel that caters to tourists should have a working knowledge of English..I’m working on my Spanish but I am not a service industry worker.
The room was very comfortable, excellent beds and pillows.. bathroom clean. Usual complaint about hotel lighting..it’s awful..basically mood lighting..cafe was ok for breakfast and dinner..made better by the friendly staff.
Not a great location as heard the area is not the best..you’ll need Ubers or other to see the city. But as a lay-over hotel it worked fine.
The staff always super nice! This is my 5 time I stay here and I have to say everything everything was amazing. I definitely recommend it to anyone.

En la app aparece parqueo disponible sin valet parking asi que me cobraron por estacionamiento o la app esta mal o el hotel esta engañando con lo que publican, adicional la habitación estaba sucia, sabanas sin lavar
Totalmente inseguro, han entrado a la habitacion y tomado dinero, el cual no estaba a la vista. Se reporto al personal de recepcion el cual solo lo que hizo burlarse y se negaron a proporcionar videos de seguridad
