Great service
I arrived at 2 AM and I messaged them that I will be checking in late. They were very kind and wait for me until I arrived.

This hotel seemed to be mostly well kept. They did not have AC which was a bit of a downside. The staff at the desk does not often speak English, although the manager/owner does, so be prepared to use your Spanish! Getting Uber is convenient and easy to do from the hotel. I had a shuttle that left to my next destination at 2:00pm on check out day, but the hotel did not allow for late checkouts. They were willing to keep my luggage though while I waited. They allowed me to wait at the property. The maids are extremely friendly. There is no restaurant in the hotel and the nearest restaurant is Taco Bell, less than a block away. I kept missing out on breakfast because their breakfast ends pretty early in the morning. I swore the sign in sheet said it went until 9:30am, but by 9am breakfast was already cleaned up. They have a really good coffee/cappuccino machine if you want coffee and it is $1 per cup.

La ubicación me fue muy conveniente. La limpieza y comodidad muy buenos. Es amplio y comodo. No tiene aire acondicionado (pero no hizo falta), el agua caliente no era estable y no vi manera de controlarla. Lo más relevante es un tren que pasa det ras del hotel. Empieza a pasar como a las 6am y termina de pasar a las 10pm. El desayuno es algo tradicional del país. En general esta bien.

The ataff at this older building made the visit very comfortable. Its an older, clean, well maintained hotel. It’s great to have free laundry facilities. The breakfast was variable. If you like eggs, request them.
Hotel transfers are arranged not included.
My taxi to the airport was not comfortable.
Again a friendly outstanding staff
Muchas Gracias
