Where to begin? I really wish it had been a better experience. The photos they show are nothing like what we found, and this should definitely be explained on the website, as there are two completely different buildings. We had to walk up four flights of stairs because there’s no elevator. The room I originally booked looked like it hadn’t been maintained since 1983. My husband tried adjusting the temperature in the room and the little control panel literally came off the wall. The hair dryer barely worked, and the humidity smell was very strong.
We decided to go down to reception and request an upgrade because it was definitely not the room we needed. Fortunately, the receptionist helped us switch to another building and another room, which was completely different from the first one. He even told us that “this always happens, many guests end up changing buildings and rooms for that same reason,” which means it's a frequent issue — so be careful when booking.
Regarding the service: I understand that we were in an area where English is not the main language, but the minimum a hotel employee should know is basic English. We speak Spanish and English, and it would have been very helpful if the staff spoke at least some English. That being said, the housekeeper assigned to our room was extremely rude. I asked her if we could go into our room since she had just finished cleaning and the floor was still wet. When I approached her and asked (in English) if we could enter, she said “no English” and started speaking in French. I respectfully told her, “I’m sorry, I didn’t understand a word you said — English or Spanish?” She shrugged her shoulders in a very dismissive way, practically ignoring me. I tried asking again, and she kept speaking in French.
The only person who was truly kind was the lady in charge of breakfast — and she actually spoke English. Breakfast was very good, and I think that’s the reason why I’m giving 3 stars. I was between giving 2 or 3 stars, but I definitely wouldn’t give 4 or 5. They really need to improve their service and clarify the differences between the hotel and the annex building.
