Centrally located. Very clean. Professional staff always willing to help.
LOCATION:
It is easy to walk from here down Avenida Liberdad, the train stations, and many of the sites. There is a mall a couple of blocks over and a full grocery store nearby. Bars and Nightclubs are also a walkable distance (although we always taxied back at night just to be safe. Easy to walk to Old Town. Longer walks (but doable) to other tourist spots. Buses and Taxis stop just across the street from the hotel making this location very convenient.
ROOM:
We opted for a tower room that included access to the VIP lounge on the 19th floor. Our room was nice- clean and tailored- with the typical items- TV, minibar, safe. The decor was rich, old-word style with heavy wooden furniture and ornate fabrics. Our room offered clean, new and plush robes and slippers for use during our stay- an amenity I loved using in the mornings! The bathroom had some lovely mosaic tiles that I couldn't help but take pictures of.
HOTEL:
From the outside the hotel looks very business like and commercial. Once you enter the doors, the space is warm, lush and welcoming. The staff is pleasant and immediately welcoming. You'll immediately feel the urge to take a picture of the bellhops who are fully attired in a uniform straight out of the movies. A few seating areas are spread throughout the lobby are usually unoccupied.
Free internet in the main areas as well as a business room (I believe room wifi was available for a fee, but we did not access it.) We had full access to the spa and could use the sauna room as we wanted. The gym is simple with just a few treadmills and minimal accessories.
The VIP lounge offered drinks throughout the day. A small bowl of fruit was available for moments in the morning, but once this was exhausted the fruit was not replenished.
Overall: Nice stay, good location, great recommendations from the staff. We used this hotel as our starting point and took day trips to the beach, palaces, city areas and more. read more
