TheGreat location! Great staff! Oscar, José and the other front desk staff were very helpful. The rooftop was nice with the hot tubs (, which had Luke warm water). Good breakfast options Thank goodness for air conditioning. They turn it off in the dorms when the room is getting cleaned. So you have to turn it on when you get back to the room. Close to the walled city.
