8.8Verified guest“Great place with reliable Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and a helpful 24-hour reception. The staff once pointed me to excellent restaurants, and the rooftop is perfect for a drink. I'll be back for Christmas.”
8.8Verified guest“My room was lovely and private, with a balcony, fans, and AC. The location was ideal, and the staff were exceptionally friendly. When the heat got to me, I headed to El Gramo Cevicheria Express for food and a break.”
