  Old Hotel

  24 Jan 2020

  The check in is very confuse and the laides in the front desk not very gentil. The garage is horrible for big cars, although most of the visitors use 4x4 for their visit of the Desert. The rooms are old and there are even pieces of furniture missing in the room and bathroom. Breakfast very bad. Nothing of good to say about this Hotel.

  Bird fecies galore

  20 Nov 2018

  Staid 2 nights in this hotel, 3 weeks apart. After my first night I asked a invoice for my company, they said they will email it next day, 3 weeks later it still did not come. It feels a bit that when the management hired the reception staff, they forgot to ask if they can read. The 2nd time we came to the hotel it took again over 30 min to do the check in, even when showing them a booking confirmation email. In total we had 3 different persons at the reception and none of them spoke one word of English. Unbelievable but true in 2018. We booked a taxi at 7 to go to the airport, when we went to double-check it came out it was booked at 8 ??The front of the hotel is covered with bird fecies, totally disgusting and un hygienic. Had to wait 5-6 min for hot water in my shower (21/11/2018) Rooms are nice and cleanBreakfast is one that doesn't deserve the name breakfast. Coffee is undrinkable as well. Free parking below the hotel which can be full sometimes. There is a small pool that ist right next to peoples room. Bit strange in my opinion. In my room, 903, wifi is only usable on the toilet or near the door. At the desk or in the bed it is impossible to stream a clip on youtube. If it would depend on me I would never ever come here again.

  Bland business hotel

  19 Jan 2018

  Quite a few blocks up from the coast, this business hotel lacks a bit in personality. The carpeting throughout is grubby and long overdue for a good steam clean and replacement in some cases. Some walls had cracks and scuff marks. Public areas lack any distinguishing features and the rooms themselves are characterless boxes. Nothing reflects their city or region. Nevertheless, they are comfortable, clean and relatively spacious. Twin double beds, a desk, chair, luggage stand. There was tea and coffee-making facilities but, strangely, no milk or powder! The bathroom was spacious and well lit but, again strangely, no soap except from a dispenser - not a lot of good in the shower! I found staff very helpful indeed, with directions, recommendations, etc. Two spoke English reasonably well. There is free, secure parking beneath the hotel. There is a small swimming pool and gym. I did not eat there as the restaurant did not open until 7.30pm and I left too early in the morning. Their room rate is very reasonable and probably reflects their out-of-centre location and lack of a view.

  Cold Restaurant, good beds

  29 Aug 2017

  This is a new (1year old) hotel, it looks modern and has a cooler design, but actually looking at the facade, it has not a goid maintenance, and looks like they havent called the window cleaner since a couple of months. Inside you see some carpets withs stain, actually the room was OK, clean and even not huge enough space available for storage for a short stay (no vacaction room!). The Hotel staff friendly (mostly foreigners from Colombia or Peru), and a litlle complicated with a guarantee from the Credit Card. We ate at the Restaurant dinner on Sunday, it was really cold in there, no heating, no goid insulation, and only 1 waiter for the aprox 20 people, not good!

  Very Modern Choice

  03 Feb 2016

  I'm not sure when this hotel opened, but it's facilities are quite modern. The rooms are nicely appointed. The hotel personnel are very attentive. The complementary breakfast was way above normal for a hotel at this price. There's a pool on the third floor which has a wonderful sitting area with lovely views of the ocean. The surrounding area has some good restaurant and dessert choices. The only downside for this hotel is that the sidewalks for some of these surrounding restaurants are in bad need of repair. It surprising to me that the city does not make some improvements. A little money spent would dramatically improve the area.
