Older property with a lot of character and good choice of amenities. Staff was bilingual and very accommodating. Close to the Malecon, and many shops and restaurants. At least 2 Banks near by and plenty of ATM's. A good choice depending on what you are looking for.

The staff is friendly and hospitable. The rooms are very clean. I didn't like that the property is five stories high and has no elevator; you have to walk up with your luggage. They have free breakfast, but personally, I was not impressed, other than the fresh fruits.
