They did not allowed my cousin to change in my room. The Hotel is small and is not like staying in a big Hotel where they have big pool, or buffet. This was just to change they did not allowed to bring any one to the room. Thats not right i pay for the room.

It's good for a one night stay. It wasn't bad and not the best. The room overall was clean just some touch ups is needed. Poor patch up jobs with holes in the wall. The bed is sleepable. The only thing that made the stay wonderful was the lady at the front desk.

Drinks were good and made of quality ingredients. Staff was all very helpful and kind. We didn't eat breakfast there, but next time probably. It may not be open until 9am which is late for us. Room was clean. Price was excellent for location and convenience. Pool was clean.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The hotel is located almost on the Malecon (the waterfront boardwalk). There are excellent restaurants, and bars very close. The only negative was the power in the room is accessed using your room key. I should have gotten two keys so I could have the A/C on when I was not in the room. The room would be very warm and took a long time to cool down. I did not use the pool, but it looked nice but very small. I did eat dinner & breakfast, and the food was okay nothing special. I was only here one night, but I thought that the price and location made the hotel a place I would come again.
