Great Facilities, But Poor Management and Unresolved Reimbursement
Pros:

I stayed at Hotel Santa Helena Plaza and while the facilities, location, and cleanliness were all excellent, my experience was severely impacted by a reimbursement issue that was never resolved.

Hotel staff acknowledged that I was owed money and directed me to speak with the manager—who I was told is named Carlos—but he never showed up or made any effort to resolve the matter. Despite several follow-ups during my stay, there was zero accountability or communication from management. To this day, I have not received the reimbursement I was promised.

It's extremely frustrating that a hotel with such good physical conditions lacks even basic customer service when it comes to addressing issues. The staff’s unwillingness to take responsibility, combined with a manager who seems to be unreachable or indifferent, left a very negative impression.

Until this issue is addressed, I cannot recommend this hotel—no matter how good the facilities may be.

Pros:

Nos gustó mucho el hotel, las habitaciones amplias, muy limpias y todo el personal muy amables. Recomendamos que pongan un restaurante aunque sea con un menú pequeño.
El único pero es que las camas no están muy cómodas, espero las logren cambiar.

Pros:

Está ubicado en un barrio no tan lindo, las instalaciones viejas y descuidadas, la habitación descuidada y en intramos una araña enorme que ni los del hotel querían matarla, el colchón parece de cartón y el ventilador no daba aire debido a la altura que estaba.
Definitivamente no recomiendo el hotel

Pros:

La propiedad bien, sin embargo está a 5 cuadras del centro y la zona es muy popular, no insegura pero no es el centro histórico, no le invierten en báscios como pañuelos desechables, ganchos de ropa, ganchos para toallas, aunque los accesorios de aseo son finos els falta eso, no ofrecen servicio de bebidas ni alimentos aunque tienen un lugar agradable frente a la alberca, personal amable, estacionamiento limitado pero gratuito, pdorán tener mas servicios.

Limpio pero en zona fea y mal internet.
Pros:

El hotel está a 4 cuadras del zócalo pero en una zona bastante fea. El hotel y el cuarto están limpios pero la cama está muy dura y se siente barata, el internet es muy malo y en lugares inexistente.

Buen hotel
Pros:

Buen hotel, cercano al centro. El internet no funciona en las habitaciones por lo que tuve que trabajar desde el lobby. El estacionamiento se llena y cómo yo salí muy temprano, tuvieron que despertar a un huésped para mover su vehículo y yo tuve que mover otro porque la persona de la recepción no sabía manejar.
