helpful staff good variety clean room convenient location
I found the hotel staff to be helpful. Giovanni assisted with luggage and provided directions in Spanish. The breakfast offered a good variety and the room was clean. The location was convenient as it was near the train station and offered easy access to attractions.
The lights switches in the room do not work except for one. This switch operate all the room lights together including the bathroom, this was very inconvenient.

the location worked out fine since i needed to be near the train station.
the air conditioning didn't work properly and the room was quite hot. i asked about it, but they said it wasn't turned on yet, which seemed odd for the time of year. also, the breakfast was pretty disappointing, the ingredients were of low quality, and the breakfast room was in the basement.
