I had a pleasant stay at this hotel with its clean rooms and friendly staff. The location was great for exploring the area, but the rooms had a slight musty smell and were a bit far from the lobby.

My stay started off on the wrong foot with a room that smelled like sewage and didn’t have the promised ocean view, but thankfully, I was able to switch rooms the same day. Aside from that, the new room was comfortable and clean. The staff there was friendly and attentive, making my overall experience much better. The dining options left something to be desired, especially the lack of basic breakfast items. The location was great, easy to walk to the Malecón and close to local attractions.

I had a great experience at the hotel, especially with the amazing staff and the beautiful view from my room.
