This is an older hotel, but lovely and in a great location with a fantastic restaurant.
Pros:

Excellent. Right across from the park so you can go see the iquanas that live in the trees and the black squirrels. There is also a pharmacy right around the corner, and many stores to look in and shop.

Pros:

Great Staff, verry amigable.
their kitchen staff is very nice and their food is great.
Just wish they would stay opened until 10pm

Cons:

the room had spotty wifi, and at some point, it went down altogether.
It would be nice if they updated their wifi to Wifi 6.
they did offer to change my room but i had so much stuff that i just used the wifi from my phone.

The room is very dim, request a room with an actual window for daylight.
