This hotel is great and in the perfect location if you don’t want to be near the super busy roads. We stayed at another hotel near El Retiro and loved this one so much more. Plus their breakfast and staff are excellent!

Great place to stay . Super clean with the friendliest staff . I have stayed here several times and my experience has always been the best . If I had a suggestion would be for them to invest in some King Size beds . I always ask for a double bed and everytime I'm given two twin size beds next to each other , which it would be fine if the beds did not keep on pulling appart .
