We were supposed to receive a welcome drink. The front desk didn’t know anything about it. We had two warm Imperial beers brought to our room. The room seemed somewhat run down. The extra appliances besides a refrigerator and microwave needed to be requested including a coffee maker.

One of the best places that I have stayed! Staying at the hotel is like staying w. extended family. It is small and intimate and very well run. I can honestly say that I have never had a room so well cleaned! We had a 2 bedroom suite and it was affordable & very spacious and comfortable. Enjoyed the breakfasts and kudos to the staff for their speed and attentiveness. The coffee is great & as I discovered early one morning you can get coffee 24-7. It is down a quiet cut de sac but you are a few minutes walk from La Sabana Park, restaurants & a convenience stores. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone - single. family or travelling w. friends!
