Rafael is about a 35 minutes walk to Plaza Mayor (not in the city center) and trains are about a 10 minute walk as well always a Taxi right in front. Also, about a 1/2 hour to the airport without traffic.
I liked the hardwood floors in the rooms & although somewhat dated my room was okay overall. They do have a safe in the room and would recommend using it for valuables. Although not in the rooms, Iron/boards are available.
There are 4 elevators which are quite small. The fitness room is very small and they definitely need to update their cardio equipment (the bike and stair climber were in bad shape). That said, the machine weights station was okay.
A good variety of items for Breakfast & the food was good. Lobby area is open and had plenty of seating. Staff at the front desk was helpful and called a restaurant to place a reservation for me which was a nice touch. Overall, ok and could be very good/excellent with some updates. read more
