Great hotel/residence. My only issue was i requested a room on the ground floor due to my Asthma and I was given a beautiful room on the third floor, also one of the bedrooms was locked so I opened it with a butter knife. I don’t know if that was intentional because i was a solo traveller and they may have assumed i didn't want to use the other room, but i preferred the double occupancy room. I would definitely stay here again.

Please noted that there is no hotel shuttle to/from the airport.
We tried to dropp off the postcard at the hotel, but they said they don't have that service.
The hotel name is Suites Cristina apart hotel, not Residence Inn Cristina.

One of the reasons I booked this hotel was that it stated in the description that the suite contained a washer and dryer. It doesn’t. The laundry room is downstairs and it costs US$12 to wash and dry a load. The suite itself was huge with a very comfortable bed in a separate bedroom. The breakfast buffet was excellent and set up around the small pool. The area around the hotel wasn’t that nice, but a short walk took you to a large park and there were many restaurants near by. Great for a couple of nights stay.

Very clean rooms. Friendly staff and wonderful breakfast! Only thing, it's a bit difficult taking to carry our suitcases up 3 flights of stairs, so I would suggest an elevator would be nice if you are planning some renovations. Thanks for a wonderful staý!
