We just needed a room to sleep so we got this hotel but we did not know that it was located by a busy street. the glass door is not too thick so the noise of the cars driving by, can be heard. Also, the room was ok but I can see that the building is a little bit old.. On the other side I can say that is location is very convenient if you’re not driving, because you can walk around the malecón and restaurants are plenty around the area too..
