Nice place to stay if you are looking for an affordable, slightly upscale option near Barrio Escalante. Really nice staff and the complementary breakfast was much more than I expected. The only negative is that the body wash, shampoo, and conditioner is a bit substandard.

Estuvimos 5 noches y solo un día hicieron limpieza de la habitación. Somos clientes bastantes considerados pues manteníamos el orden pero llegar cada noche y ver la basura del baño y la habitación fue una gran decepción. Las habitaciones no tiene refrigerador ni microondas, máquina de hielo encontramos solo una en el segundo piso a larga distancia.Todos los días tenía q buscar donde tirar la basura, En dos ocasiones fui al front desk a pedir ayuda pues no teníamos shampoo y crema la ayuda nunca llegó. El área alrededor del hotel es insegura y muy sucia y aunque el hotel es inmenso es tan oscuro q parecía q ahí no habitaba nadie.
