False Advertisement, Publicidad Falsa! Property too far from city center not a 14 min walk. Hotel located on top of a hill with a very hard walking incline to access the Hotel. Not recommended too families with children, staff is not knowledable and not willing to help! I cancelled & was charged the full amounts per room! Staff hangs up the phone when calling for help. Worst experiance ever!

A NIGHTMARE. Im a solo female American traveler who will never be the same after what i experienced at this hotel. I booked a room at Hotel 1988 for 3 weeks. I was 10 days in & everything was going fine, when just before 6 am on July 11, 2022, two unhuman looking individuals tried to force their way into my room after first unlocking the simple pop lock on the door. Did they have a key?? Who knows, but luckily i had the door barricaded being cautious knowing the times we live in, or they would've gotten in. The hotel staff did NOTHING. I believe they were actually complicit in whatever had taken place. The police were called, and I was treated rudely & then asked by the woman hotel manager to leave the hotel. I had paid over $1,000 usd to stay there, and they would'nt refund me anything, or even give me 1 hour on their patio to make other last minute accommodations at another hotel. The police went into my room, took photos of a few of my personal belongings, against my wishes, God knows why, threw them in a trash bag, not even letting me pack my own stuff, and then shoved me down several flights of stairs to the exit. I could not BELIEVE I was being treated like a criminal for no reason when my own safety had just been compromised by the near break in of my hotel room at Hotel 1988. The entire situation was highly dangerous & suspicious. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL. AT ALL.

El dia que llegamos nos dieron una habitación sucia, ropa de cama y almohadas olian a suciedad, desde que abrí la habitación un olor terrible a caño. Nos cambiaron la habitación, pero la primera impresión fue ésa!!! Poca atención en la limpieza. Las amenidades también les hace falta atención, el jacuzzi y la alberca muy frias. Muchas restricciones poca atención.

Es mi segunda visita, la primera vez quedé encantada pero esta última uy no, la comida me hizo daño, tanto la cena como el desayuno, no hay muchas opciones para comer, incluso el agua sabía agria, no vayan en temporada de vacaciones, la gente que va es súper maleducada, llegan en la madrugada casi gritando en los pasillos, se satura la piscina y no salen de la tina de hidromasaje

Es un lugar bonito con buena vista de la ciudad. El personal es amable. Lo malo es que el agua de la alberca es muy fría y no hay elevador, algo que, por la ubicación del hotel es negativo.
