Solo la ubicación es 4 estrellas
Pros:

La ubicacion

Cons:

Desayuno, front desk,
El jugo natural no era gratis, no se reponían los fiambres, los panes duros, el café americano frío,
El primer día informamos que no funcionaba la calefacción , la respuesta fue "si funciona", nadie se acercó , ni se ofrecieron a ver lo que nos pasaba

Pros:

The location is of course the best. Our room more than met my family's needs, the extra bed accommodation was perfect.

Recommended!
Pros:

I definitely recommend staying at this hotel. The excellent location alone is worth the price as it is. centrally located in the historic downtown and all the top sites to see. The staff was accommodating for a late check and they helped coordinate luggage storage and taxi pick-up. The room itself was very comfortable and clean.
