"This is not a hotel, it rents rooms by the hour it is a brothel,we booked for the night through expedia. It does not have a cafe, coffee shop or restaurant, it has a 24 hr kitchen that will bring meals to your room. There is no pool and nobody speaks english. The pictures do not match the property. It is a very dangerous area of the city, where Uber drivers are hesitant to come pick you up. We only stayed the one night and have to question why Expedia lists this property."

"Short stay but definitely worth staying. Felt welcoming from the inception. Special highlight to Marcelo at the front desk. He’s a Gem to that hotel. He was so patient and communicated so well thou there was a language barrier. He assisted with planning my tours and ensure my safety and enjoyment was #1 priority. Food and drinks were great."
