It is important to speak Spanish or have a good translation app on your phone. Nobody speaks English. Location was excellent as in the middle of lots of shopping. Not allot of restaurants but some smaller places to eat. Lots of historic old buildings and huge church in the area. Town square always filled with people and venders. Lots of attractions. Great place to stay. You are in the middle of the old historic center.

From the minute, I walked in the door to check in. I was treated with kindness and efficiency of the staff. I cannot give this hotel enough praise from the front desk to the housekeeping to everyone at the breakfast. I think it was one of the friendliest staff hotels I have ever been to, and I cannot say enough about the breakfast buffet, and also the housekeeping staff.
