Pros:

I really like the property and have been there many times, but on our last stay they were doing construction early in the morning. Also, the wifi was not working on the first floor towards the front. Other than that, they have done a good job with renovations.

I recommend the Best Western El Dorado just make sure they give you a room away from what's left of the renovations.

Pros:

Qué Xopa, I really enjoyed the staff. Everyone I encountered was welcoming and professional. I can give a shot out to Mr. Mosses! He helped me to navigate some issues until resolved during my stay. The breakfast was a good mixture of cuisines. Of course my goal. Make more money, return trip coming!

Pros:

Nice hotel and nice room on the inside, but located in a seedy part of the city fairly far away from city sights and the airport, and where they don’t recommend walking at night. There’s a TGI Fridays connected to the hotel with good American food. The pool looked nice but I didn’t use it. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Fine stay but far location
Pros:

We had an ok stay here. When we arrived, we were assigned a room that faced the street. It was loud…and there was a car alarm that would not stop beeping. There was no way we could get sleep. We asked to be transferred to another room. The front desk was gracious and helpful. They switched us to a quieter room, which was great because there was no outside noise and we could sleep but there was also no view. The window opened to a concrete wall. It was fine…the room was otherwise comfortable and clean. The pros…there’s a coin-operated laundry onsite you can use for a quick load. I did a load while my daughter swam in the pool. The pool was nice and clean. There’s a microwave, coffee maker, and fridge in the room. The free breakfast was nice but it’s held in a room that feels corporate and stuffy. Good front desk service and housekeeping. There’s daily cleaning/bed making for your room. The cons: although it’s only a few km from downtown/casco viejo, it feels far. It’ll take you a good 20-30 mins to get to casco viejo if you’re traveling during rush hour. Not during rush hour is 10-15 mins in an uber. The whole first floor is being renovated, so it’s kind of like your going through a construction site when down there. Also, there are no good authentic restaurants nearby. there’s just TGI Fridays, ihop, and like kfc. Overall, we had a comfortable sleep and thought the hotel was well equipped but lacked in location.
