This was a great place to stay. The only thing is it was difficult to find.it needs more signage in the street or a better description of how to find it on the websites.

The property was hard to find at first because the entrance is down an alley. At night they have a chain and lock for the main door. I can understand the need for safety but if there is a fire, this is the only exit for the property. The room was very comfortable. Upon arrival there was a plate of fresh fruit waiting for us. Very nice! There were 2 double beds which helped. The bathroom sink was unique in the fact it was a pedestal with a very small bowl. The shower was wonderful. The showerhead was very high so that any tall person would fit under it. The one thing we missed was having a small frig for our beverages. All in all we enjoyed our stay there.

Inexpensive and easy, but!

First, the entrance to the hotel is down a small alley, took a bit to find. It's lit with small path lighting at night. The room was ok at first glance, but looking closer it had water damage in the bathroom and what appeared to be mold over the shower. The bed was comfy, but they need to offer an extra blanket in the colder season or a plug-in heater. It was very cold in the room. Overall it was inexpensive and it worked for one night.

NO lo recomiendo, sin ventilación, sofocante, demasiado ruido, se escuchan las voces del primer piso y que decir los “ruidos” de la habitación contigua. Lo elegí por la calificación, después de un día de mucho caminar uno busca descansar. La limpieza impecable pero por el precio hay otras opciones mejores.

Mejorar el servicio

Hubo algunos detalles que podrían mejorar, como falta de apoyo con las maletas al llegar, revisar el agua caliente de las habitaciones.( no había) No contaba con ventilador lo cual hizo que la habitación fuera calurosa. Sería bueno que atendieran estos puntos para tener una mejor experiencia.
