The location is good - close to the Malecon, good restaurants, and a great café called A Page in the Sun. The front desk crew was very rude during check-in and they refused to acknowledge us when we went down to the desk for assistance. Our room was a studio. It was: tiny, no fan in bathroom, the lighting was terrible, NO view, no lamps, only one wash cloth, a goopy liquid in a bowl next to the sink (not sure what it was. Maybe dish soap.) We didn't use it, nor did we use the hot plate or mismatched cheap silverware and dishes. The tiny little refrigerator had no door on the freezer compartment and it was iced over. The bed was not comfortable. The pillows on the bed were great. Hey, there was something to like after all. This hotel may have some rooms that have been updated and are nicer than the one we had, I don't know. But I still would not stay there again due to the rudeness of the guy at the front desk.
