This hotel is located only 2 blocks from the city center. It has one of the largest rooms that I have ever seen in the category of single rooms. Their single rooms are almost equal the size of an apartment. They charge for internet wifi internet connection in your room but is free on the computers located in the business... More

We stayed here for 3 nights (not by choice... Shakira was playing in Santa Cruz and every other hotel was booked out) and only 1 staff member was nice to us the whole time. The room was spacious but the shower/bath didn't drain so you end up standing in a pool of shower water. We didnt even bother getting up... More

This hotel is not bad, its definitely not a 4 star hotel but might have been in the 70's when it was last decorated. The rooms are spacious and pleasant enough but could do with a better clean. The free breakfast is terrible and definitely not worth getting up for. Flies all around the fruit and the bread was about... More
