Negative Reviews
negative:
Ask for a room with a view
Though some of their rooms feature magnificent views of the plaza, others only face the rear side of a neighboring building and consequently could be rather dark. Previous guests who stayed in those rooms were quite disappointed, and recommend travellers request a room with a view.
negative:
The breakfast could be better
While very few guests complained that the breakfast was bad, many noted that they would have preferred a wider selection of items. Several also noted that the buffet was the same each day, and those that stayed for several nights would have preferred something different.
negative:
They charge for the internet
The hotel does charge a small fee for internet connectivity in the room, a policy which some travellers found outdated. Reviews also noted that only one device could be used at a time, and that the connection was quite poor.
