Great customer service. Very nice people. The rooms are very small and characterless. Traffic is loud all night. Toilet is inches from the bed. Very, very basic. Not a bad spot if you just want a good location and don’t care about noise or tiny rooms.

Basic hotel. Bed was comfortable but had a cement wall for headboard, and couldn't sleep due to incessant noise from a compressor operating right outside our room. Only stayed two nights, so didn't ask to move. No elevator, which we knew when booking. Location was good, one street over from Malecon, but on a very busy, very noisy street. Restaurant wasn't great, but many other options close by. Reception staff very nice and helpful with directions.
