Una ubicación señorial
Pros:

Está muy situada , reservé la suite del 4 piso y está de maravilla, además comunicante con la otra habitación. El hotel lo recomiendo como escapada solo o en pareja, pero sí vas con familia y con muchas cosas te recomiendo uno con ascensor y parking, eso sí, la ubicación es perfecta

Cons:

No hay ascensor, y son 4 pisos, viajaba con un bebé y es muy incómodo, y tampoco hay sitio para para con el coche para dejar las maletas, todo tiene que ser corriendo, y tienes que dejar el coche en el parking que me costó 70 dólares por dos días.

Conde de Peñalba puede ser mejor
Pros:

La ubicación es estupenda y el restante a la antigua está muy bien, y su gente muy amable

Cons:

En varias partes de la habitación la pintura estaba levantada. A las 9:00 AM, una persona tocó la puerta de la habitación e instantáneamente abrió la puerta.

Experiencia de muy mal gusto
