This three-star hotel has a fabulous location. It is right around the corner from the best part of the malecón, the pathway running right along the edge of town with beautiful views out to the lagoon and river area. It’s right where there are three restaurants and a bar. It’s also just a block from Plaza de Armas, so it’s convenient for catching all kinds of transportation if you want to head out to the port or whatever. I had an inside room because I sleep better with them and it was cleaned and scrubbed really well every morning. The included hot breakfast was fresh and excellent. Bianca at the counter was especially helpful (and spoke very good English) and the gentleman in the evening was especially kind. There was no hot water when I was there because of the street construction that it been going on for six months and will be going on for probably another year so the owner was nice enough to gave me a partial refund (Note that there are no hotels or gyms around where you can pay a day pass of some kind to have access to hot showers, but it is so hot and humid there is that even though I would’ve liked a little warm water it wasn’t terrible and was was mostly refreshing.) The only drawbacks beside the water was the TV signal was not very good and the Internet is very slow and hit and miss. I ended up going down to the virtual library, where it was excellent. I don’t think this problem is unique to this hotel, but is common in the area.
