Pros:

The rooftop pool and patio was lovely! Breakfast was great, as was the restaurant by the pool. Room was comfortable and the ambience in the lobby was great with the water feature.

The hotel was a great value for its location and staff.
Pros:

The location is excellent. Located in the Congrejo neighborhood, it’s very accessible to many good restaurant options. I also liked the rooftop pool and gym, both with good views of the city.

Cons:

The restaurant was okay, but nothing special. My wife ordered a chicken quesadilla and recorded chicken fajitas instead. The hamburger I ordered had a sweet relish I had to remove and bacon that was all fat. I had to remove that as well.

Pool was nice but good and customer service were disappointing.
Pros:

The pool was great and not too deep so perfect for my 12 year old daughter. Breakfast was delicious but basic so not spectacular … the sheets were really soft comfortable . The view was amazing.. I appreciate they used solar energy and promoted green energy /energy conservation…

Cons:

The customer service was really lacking… the bathroom lights kept on and off in the lobby area… which was annoying as it got really dark when trying to is the toilet… seems like they use solar energy so it it was quite noisy when we turned on the lights in the bathroom in the room…
The French fries were undercooked, the ketchup was rancid/expired and got my daughter sick where she was throwing up…. No one looked into it even though they said they would.
Had to ask them to change the sheets on one out our beds bc it was dirty as soon as we came in !
They gave us a complimentary late check in at 2pm (ie for only one hour extra which was quite stingy of them)
