Jack, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Staff was excelent! The only problem i had is that the A/C is not strong enough and can get a little hot. I was down at 2 am since i couldnt sleep and they gave me an electric fan and upgraded me to a suite that could regulate the temperature at will, still the A/C was a little lacking but it was enough for me to get comfortable. The hotel staff was great! Breakfast was delicious and the lunch/dinner options were very tasty. Overall I had a wonderful time at this hotel!
Gerardo, 4-night trip

Great place to stay!

Clean and comfortable accommodations and a staff that was super friendly and super helpful!
Laurie, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Place was nice, clean and good service. The bartender Nelson was great. Only thing I didn't care for was being charged $12 extra for parking. I don't think there's a need to pay for parking at a hotel.

10/10 Excellent

Great property close to the Estacio National. Checkin is at 3pm but does have a luggage hold. Walking distance to the stadium with lots of dining options in the area. Walkable part. Breakfast which is included in the room rate was great. Made to order omelettes; beans and rice, potatoes and sausage along with fruit and breads. Good hearty breakfast and great staff. Recommend
