While the hotel is a good value, and I have stayed here before many times, it is not a high end hotel. Very run down and aged. Staff was friendly and my only issue was the shower has too much water pressure, and beats down on you. Also, lots of small bugs in the rooms. The positive, was the WiFi actually worked the entire time, compared to previous visits and the hotel is very close to El Conde.

This time, I got a quiet room, which was a big improvement over past noisy stays. For the price, it was great—spacious, quiet, with good Wi-Fi, TV, and hallway access to drinking water. Essentials like soap, shampoo, toilet paper, and towels were all provided. A solid budget-friendly option in a great location. Just be sure to request a room away from the street if you're sensitive to noise.
