4.0 star property

"Very hard to find, then when you finally get there it’s not marked—looks like a house, and then they send you to another location. And finally, when we got to our room, we were told the water would be shut off from 10-4am., but they would provide a gallon of water. But they didn’t bring the water and the waiter was shut off before 10. Then they finally brought some water. The room had lots of closet space and bathroom had a lot of places to set things. The shower was cold only."

"This hotel seemed to be mostly well kept. They did not have AC which was a bit of a downside. The staff at the desk does not often speak English, although the manager/owner does, so be prepared to use your Spanish! Getting Uber is convenient and easy to do from the hotel. I had a shuttle that left to my next destination at 2:00pm on check out day, but the hotel did not allow for late checkouts. They were willing to keep my luggage though while I waited. They allowed me to wait at the property....

"A Hidden Gem: Cozy Comfort Near the US Embassy with an Outstanding Host I recently stayed at this charming small studio for a 3 weeks, and it was an absolute delight. The apartment was exactly as advertised. The photos did not do justice to how cozy and well-appointed it was. Check-in was a breeze. The host provided clear, step-by-step instructions and was available to answer any questions. I was impressed by the cleanliness of the apartment. It was spotless and well-maintained, making me feel...
