Pros:

Honestly you get what you pay for. Its a good place to stay if you want to be near the airport but don't want to pay a lot of money in a hotel for a night, but the staff does not talk to each other i checked in with a gentleman in the afternoon (which took forvever because he said he had errands to run) confirmed my car service for the airport and in the morning a new gentleman was at the desk and when i tried to confirm my car he had no idea what i was talking about.

No volvería
Pros:

El hotel ofrece estacionamiento, tiene solo espacio para 3 coches y los extra se estacionan bloqueando la salida de los demás, por lo que tienes que despertar para mover tu unidad cada que quieran salir.

En el baño de mi habitación había una cucaracha y la limpieza del lugar no fue la mejor.

Definitivamente la zona es buena, pero precio calidad, no lo recomiendo. Tienen que invertir para que sea un lugar digno.

Pros:

Hot water! The shower could use a new shower head though. It's located in a quiet neighborhood but 15 minutes walk to the National Museum. Great cluster of restaurants in a five minute walk inJardin de Lolita. Nice vintage hotel. Great, quiet sitting area.

Pros:

24 Hour front desk with helpful and accommodating staff. They have a lovely breakfast available with coffee and juice. I have food allergies and they very kindly made my breakfast GF. There was more hot water available in the evening for showers than in the morning.

Pros:

Cute super vintage place. There is a small police station on same street so you feel extra safe. Dining is walking distance and many options. Room smelled old and bedding sheets looked old so did the furniture. Hot water in shower worked for a few seconds then turned cold. It wasn’t horrible but if your looking for something other than a quick night stay probably not your place. You also have to be ok with the creepy vintage stuff lol.
