My stay at the hotel was a pleasant experience overall. The rooms, while spacious and with comfortable beds and good shower facilities, had a slight issue with the smell of strong cleaning products and old furniture. Despite being small and not very modern, they were equipped with essential amenities like a comfortable bed, good lighting, clean bathroom, TV, hot water kettle with tea/coffee sachets, and efficient AC, making my stay enjoyable.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were very clean and spacious after being moved to a better room with a fridge, but lacked adequate lighting and were noisy due to the main road location. The service was overall good, except for one unfriendly front desk staff member. The location was convenient, with proximity to Sabana Park and some good restaurants, although not very central. The dining experience offered great local dishes but not much variety. The hotel had basic facilities and the value for money was decent.

I felt like the rooms were a bit outdated, but after requesting a change, I got a better room with a great bathroom and a comfortable bed. The hotel doesn't provide bottled water due to drinkable local water. The location was convenient, close to restaurants and Sabana park, offering a taste of local life. However, the service was a mix with some unfriendly encounters and delays, and the breakfast organization left much to be desired.
