Always a good option

This hotel is well maintained and has an excellent location. Surrounded by many dining and shopping options, it's also in a quiet area where you can rest well. They must work hard on cleaning the rooms. My bed had hair on it, and the cups in the coffee maker had lipstick marks on them.

Highly recommended! This hotel is in the Downtown of ES, you have many bars and restaurants around. The staff is 10/10, super friendly and knowledgeable of the area. Marisol at the check-in informed us about everything to do around the area, ask her about the best place for pupusas!

Mi estadía por dos noches de negocios

Mi visita fue de dos noches para asuntos de negocios. En general es un buen hotel. Muy limpio y con buen servicio. Pero hay detalles que mejorar: 1. La plancha de mi cuarto estaba quebrada 2. No me dejaron usar el cuarto de Spinning, pues lo cerraron temprano (una hora antes de la hora regular) 3. El VIP lounge (Premium Level) lo cierran una hora antes de la hora anunciada y el servicio es pésimo cuando está abierto. Cuando fui no se acercaron a mi mesa para revisar si todo estaba bien. 4. El desayuno fue espectacular, buen servicio, muy amables.
