The hotel was average. Breakfast wasn’t great and it was very noisy all night long. The location is great & the staff was helpful. If you’re looking for a basic hotel this was great. Tips: to get to Santa Cruz take the airport bus($5), a water taxi to other side ($1) & bus to main road ($5). It’s cheaper than taking a private taxi & it takes the same amount of time. It leaves you off right on the main road & the hotel is 2 blocks away.

je ne peux pas évaluer car j'ai eu des problèmes de vols pour y arriver . Hôtel m'a facturé la nuité. Evidement je ne pouvais pas les avertir car mon vol est d'abord annulé et puis dérouter par 1 autre pays avant d'arriver le lendemain . En plus j'ai dû racheter 1 autre vol pour arriver au rendez-vous de ma croisière .

Al reservar el hotel con dos meses de anticipación me ofrecieron desayuno incluido, al llegar a registrarme me indicaron que mi reserva no incluía el desayuno, realice el reclamo a Expedia para que me solucionen el inconveniente pero lo que me dijeron es que me daban puntos en mi cuenta para un próximo viaje ya que no podían comunicarse con el hotel.
