EVA

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
We just needed a room to sleep so we got this hotel but we did not know that it was located by a busy street. the glass door is not too thick so the noise of the cars driving by, can be heard. Also, the room was ok but I can see that the building is a little bit old.. On the other side I can say that is location is very convenient if you’re not driving, because you can walk around the malecón and restaurants are plenty around the area too..

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.
