The free daily breakfast with varying hot dishes was a bonus with good hours of availability. The coin (quarters avail at front desk) operated washer ($2) and dryer ($3 for 45 mins) (med heat was hot enough) was convenient though you had to go to a store.(short walking distance) to get detergent. Short walk to many small restaurants of many varieties, and mostly chinese, coffee shops and bakeries was also convenient. The two issues I had was we did not have a mini fridge (not avail with a room with two double beds). The other issue is that the room was a bit damp when you have temps set at normal room temps. Only when set temp around 19C / approx 63F (a bit chilly), did the dampness go away.

Not as clean as I thought

I don't usually walk around a hotel room barefoot, but I did during my recent stay. When I went to put on my shoes, I was appalled to see the soles of my feet were very dirty. I had to wash them before putting my shoes on. This is a real shame. I've always liked this hotel, and the front-desk staff are always terrific. I trust this was a one-time aberration.

Not great, but consistently average

My go to hotel when I go to El Dorado. The hotel is consistent so it takes some of the guess work out of trying to figure out where to stay. Breakfast is a little weak and has gotten steadily worse over the last year so I will probably start looking for another hotel with break fast or stay somewhere where I can go for breakfast outside of the hotel.

Extraordinary customer service

The hotel is pleasant and comfortable, and my stay included a nice breakfast with a good mix of hot and cold dishes. But the helpfulness of the front desk staff was incredible. Moises helped me coordinate transportation from the airport and made it work seamlessly despite a last-minute flight change which meant I arrived at a different terminal than orignally planned. Then Jorge made phone call after phone to help me track down lost luggage (which was delivered safely). I can't speak highly enough about their service.
