I liked the fact that the hotel was near the historic district and the port of the city. I did not like that there was water heating and water pressure issues, there was consistent construction on the floor that I stayed, which impact at the water, and my body was not conditioned to a firm bed, and finally, we were only allotted one towel per guest per day.

The first was like a closet and the fridge kept leaking the first three nites. It ruined our clothes. The customer service was great. The restaurant breakfast was average. Jennifer, Christopher, Jholey, and Antonio were very welcoming. 10/10. The pools and rooftop and bar were also wonderful.

My experience has always been great with this hotel. But this week, the cleaning staff dropped the ball. They placed stained sheets and pillow cases with blood on them! They had to know that you can do that! Bugs were inside of my executive suite. They were in the bed around the kitchen/ living room areas. This was disappointing.

Good location, this hotel lacks a lot, they don't have several plugs in the rooms, they don't change the bed linen, they don't clean or disinfect the rooms. The buffet lacks many things! A hotel and they don't have phone chargers, I always had to ask for a towel, no hand or face towels. No soap, no shampoo or conditioner! They don't have hangers to hang clothes! I wouldn't stay there again, nor recommend the rooms are still very small.

Our first bedroom was moldy and dirty. The bathroom was very small and smell moldy, the shower was clogged, the small fridge was not working and the room looked dirty. They moved us to another room which was in better condition, but the bed was uncomfortable and made a lot of noise, they did not provide us with a cover at first. The safe did not work. The room was by the street and we could hear every car going by. The water in the shower went from hot to cold and it was difficult to keep it at a warm temperature. The breakfast was good and the server at the breakfast was very polite. The desk attendant that was there in the evenings was kind of rude and looked annoyed when we asked to change rooms and when we moved to the other room, we asked for a blanket and a pillow, and he looked annoyed. The day desk lady was very polite and so was the overnight desk gentleman when we checked out.

Love the culture
I love older hotels so I quite enjoyed this little gem. It is a little rundown. But it is being updated. Our junior suite was comfortable. I loved that the host/receptionist walked us up to our room. The hotel is quite cozy. We enjoyed breakfast in the restaurant and it was enjoyable. Very tasty. Outside there is tons going on. And right near Malécon. The only downside was not flushing toilet paper down the toilet. I imagine because the plumbing is older. But I will definitely stay again.
