10/10 Excellent

"It’s a great place to stay the staff is very friendly and always helpful. Our clean room daily by the best friendly staff specially “ Fatima!” so sweet and welcoming.. The bar has great tasting drinks & awesome service. Everyone is so welcoming thank you to everyone and see you next time"

Hotel Santiago de Compostela

10/10 Excellent

"Great customer service, everyone is extra helpful. We checked in 2 hrs early, no extra charge. We checked out at 12 and they held our luggage for a couple more hours free of chart too. Juanito was awesome. Pool is small, only couple launch chairs. Convenient location. 711 store at the corner, dominos pizza next door, lots of restaurants around the plaza, short walking distance. If needed, cabs/taxi available right outside. Only bad thing, it’s the water! It has a white-cloudy look with a foul smell but I believe it’s an issue everywhere!"
