Pros:

breakfast was good and the hotel was fine. We had a twin room that was more of a corridor than a room

I had a wonderful stay. From check-in to check out, the service was excellent.
Pros:

This hotel exceeded my expectations!! I was very skeptical upon entering the very old door and going through the courtyard but when I entered into the foyer, I was very relieved.

Cons:

No one at the desk overnight.

Decepcionante
Pros:

La ubicación es perfecta , es un poco ruidoso pero es central y conveniente, de la recepción el hombre y la chica de los desayunos fueron la mejor parte de la estancia .

Me hospede con mi prometido allí 2 semanas y al principio notamos que el aire acondicionado no funcionaba perfecto pero era aceptable, pero las dos últimos noches fueron terribles ya que el aire se dañó por falta de mantenimiento, nos quejamos y no querían dar soluciones incluso pedimos que si era posible un ventilador o cambio de habitación pero no nos dieron solución hasta que finalmente después de un día llevaron a alguien pero solo funcionó 2 horas y después volvió a ser un horno la habitación, fue realmente decepcionante.

Cons:

My wife wrote the spanish part. After seeing the response I want to clarify how false the hotel staff's responses are. I want to begin with the fact that I am an HVAC mechanic.
1) The air conditioning unit was not operated continuously for 10 days. That is simply false. Also, A/C units can absolutely be operated continuously, didn't you notice the same units in the hallways that were always on? Do you know why your refrigerator works? It is because the A/C compressor is constantly operating. Do you know why an air conditioning unit works? Because the same compressor is working.

2) Let's talk about the hose and the jug of water. Hotel staff entered my room when I mentioned the issue with the unit. I was told directly to my face that the jug was full and that was the reason it failed. I went outside to verify, the jug was in fact empty. Do you know why the jug was empty? It was because the liquid line to the condenser was frozen over. Do you know why the liquid line to the condenser was frozen over? Because there was a refrigerant leak. Also, why was there a closed container for a drainage hose anyway? The rest of this dirty city just lets it drain to the street so there is never any "filling of jugs" to worry about.
3) By the hotel staffs own admission, there are no maintenance workers employed. The "technician" that simply refilled the receiver with refrigerant but never fixed the leak. What was the point? There are no "knobs" to manipulate or reposition. I asked hotel staff if they would like my help, they said no. I did not disassemble a compressor motor to damage some cables, if that is what you're implying. If you actually replaced the unit instead of fixing it, then you got scammed out of a lot of money, my bet is that you're lying though, which is why I was not charged.
4) We declined to switch hotels at TEN PM (packing and driving across town for 1 night beside the airport?

Other than the street noise leaking through the windows it was great.
Pros:

Remodeled recently, and was high quality.

Cons:

The street noise was excessive, and couldn’t sleep the first night. The windows need better sealing.

The staff is amazing!
Pros:

It was spotless and the location was great. I mistakenly reserved the economy town room which had 2 twin beds positioned end to end and was unable to upgrade. Nevertheless, the place was still great. The staff was incredible. They offered to send me and my wife to the airport with bagged breakfasts because we were leaving early.

We really enjoyed our stay in the city
Pros:

Excellent choice at breakfast for a small hotel.The location was very central for shopping, restaurants and sightseeing. The road traffic was noisy at night but the hotel had pre-warned us and it was worth making that compromise.
