Really wonderful staff. It's an older hotel with a ton of character. Free and secure parking. Nice large rooms with good bathroom and hot water. Breakfast was very nice, a complete & very filling meal. The area is a bit shady with Casino across street, but if you're a savvy traveler it's fine and a good value for all the amenities needed for a quick stay.

The best thing about this hotel is the extremely friendly and courteous and helpful receptionist who very kindly let me have the room at 10 am in the morning. This hotel has all the basic amenities and is of a good standard for Latin America. The location is five minutes walk from the main street and didn’t feel unsafe although there are some visible homeless people on the street.
