“We stayed twice at this hotel”

Reviewed 5 April 2013

The first time was for two nights on March 26th and 27th, and again for another three nights from April 1-3 when we returned from Nicaragua. The 3 staff at the front desk were very friendly and helpful. I am an early riser, and Mauricio the night manager would always make a pot of fresh coffee for me every morning.... More

We arrived late night completely exhausted. Although we believed to have paid before, the receptionist ask for payment and we stated that it has been paid. We got the key to our room right away and the next day the receptionist asked again for payment. After a good night sleep, we realized that this was the one hotel we have... More

I would highly recommend this hotel. The grounds are beautiful, and the staff was incredible.

Reception staff - mostly business-like but not friendly. Basic hotel. Has a little restaurant at the side for breakfast/evening meals - the chef is the kindest man (and very friendly). Guests appear to be allowed to take prostitutes back to their rooms and the staff don't seem bothered. I have no issues with this except when I have an early... More

Rooms are small, bathrooms very small, there was a stain on one of the sheets (although it had certainly been laundered), but for the price it was really just fine. What noise there is comes from the street, not the other rooms. Bring earplugs--it's near a railroad line. The breakfast is fruit, toast, juice, and coffee, and if you want... More
