the hotel's location near the main bus terminal proved very useful. i easily moved throughout the city (i could reach everything quickly). the on-site bar with its taco options was a nice touch after a day of exploring. the room had air conditioning, a welcome feature given the warm weather (temperatures outside were quite high).

convenient locationmissing amenitiesinfrequent cleaning

the location near the train station was acceptable for my travel needs. it provided easy access to transportation.

the room lacked basic amenities i expect at this price point. there was no kettle or coffee maker in the room and getting hot water required a trip to the lobby. the room cleaning was not done daily this was unexpected for a hotel of this class.
