"The staff was very helpful and nice, however I find it odd that you don’t get a key for your room, you have to ask the staff to open the door whenever you want to come in. The WiFi never worked, and so did the tv since it was connected to the same WiFi. "

"The hotel is nice al well kept however we got our rooms on the dirt floor, close to the lobby. There was noise all the time. In the morning we could hear the staff cleaning the floor of the patio behind our room, with their mops and buckets. We could also hear the beeping of the machines in the gym since 5:30 am."

"What a beautiful hotel! The location couldn't be more perfect for us because you can walk to all the cool places. My room was third floor overlooking the church across the street and at night it was so beautiful to see. Front desk staff was very professional and welcoming. The hotel was beautiful and we felt safe at all times. The breakfast was soso nothing special but there was lots of places to eat around the hotel. I would love to stay here again and in the same room I had! Well done Gamma!...

"The worst part about this hotel? No elevator. It's not a big deal since the hotel is only two levels. However, if you have heavy bags like we did, there is help. The place is very nice, and the breakfast was delicious. My husband really enjoyed their "Cafe de la olla" which is essentially brewed coffee, as we enjoy it here in the states. The part he enjoyed was that they flavored it with cinnamon sticks. The rooms are big and well maintained. The bed is super comfy and the bathroom is well...
