Un buen hotel para llegar sólo a descansar después de conocer o trabajar en la ciudad.
Pros:

Excelente ubicación, buena atención, Wifi pésimo. El agua que ofrecen no sabe bien y es poco acogedor. Su staff hace cumple, pero no hay una cálida atención.

Cons:

Pueden mejorar la conectividad al Wifi y la atención.

Good hotel in a convenient location
Pros:

It's an older hotel but has what you need. It was very hot, and the hotel had what was needed to keep fresh and cool.

Cons:

It's dated, the elevator is rather small, it was a squeeze to have several people inside with bags and it was a bit slow.

Pros:

Great location, plenty of space in the room

Cons:

It's not that I didn't like it. It's just that the decor in the rooms is too plain. If they added more new furniture, it would be an incredible improvement. The location is simply wonderful.

Best location
Pros:

Location is great, just few minutes from the white house and other major monuments in the city are easy to get to just by walking.

Cons:

Not the hotel's fault, but you can sometimes hear people and ambulances pass trough the night.
