The strangest part about the room we had is that you have to put your room key in a box mounted on the wall for the electricity to work. And, the air conditioner was either on because the key was in or off with the key out, no other option to adjust the air conditioner. We didn't need the air conditioner at night but did not have lights without putting the key in the box. I've never seen a set up like this. The shower did not always have hot water...but did most the time we needed it. It's a basic hotel room, no fridge, microwave etc. Staff are friendly and it's a super easy walk to the Malecon.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Was a very nice stay. You are right in the middle of the things so on a Saturday night it can be a bit loud, but actually most of the street noise is blocked out up in the rooms. The attached restaurant is a bit pricey compared to what is available right outside the hotel, but that is always true I guess. The front desk staff was helpful and friendly and the room was clean and comfortable.
