The rooftop restaurant is very good. Paletas exceptional. Tortillas and chips- homemade. Service was excellent. Only complaint- room is too small not enough storage. One small bench to sit on. Bathroom about 3 feet from bed.

It would have been nice to have an additional chair to sit on. And the television stations were woefully limited. Otherwise, ok.

The hotel was very nice. The employees at the front desk were incredibly helpful. The only issue we had was with the parking. They charged us $100 instead of $50 and continued to argue with us. It took awhile for them to straighten it out.
