The hotel is situated close enough to the downtown area that you can walk or take a quick taxi. Just a few streets over from Paseo Montejo, so plenty of options for food/drinks/entertainment, yet just far enough that it is pretty quiet. If you have a car, this is a great hotel - as they have a small indoor parking lot attached that is locked up at all times (very easy to come and go, as front desk attendant will gladly open and close door at any time of day). There is a nice little pool and open air courtyard with a few lounge chairs. I didn't get a chance to use this area, but it was nice to walk past daily. The breakfast is fairly minimal, but if you just need to grab a quick bite, you can make a ham and cheese sandwich, have some cereal, pastry, yogurt and fruit. It was enough to get me going in the morning. The shower pressure and water temperature were great; space was a bit cramped as it shared the same space as the toilet. The bed was very soft and comfortable. My only real complaint was that the bottom sheet used for the king size bed didn't fully cover the bed, so the bottom sheet kept un-tucking during my sleep. This drove me crazy, as I don't like to sleep on wrinkled/bunched up sheets. Air conditioning worked really well. I never watched the TV, as I was only really in the room to sleep and shower. The staff were all very nice, and were happy to accommodate my requests. For the price and location, I would definitely stay here again.
