The pros: Spacious, tasteful decor, nice appliances and kitchen utensils. The staff were friendly, helpful, and spoke English. Luis and Omar deserve special mention. But if you phone the front desk and they put you on hold, it might be forever. So hang up, and go down and talk to them in person. The hotel is near the beach, stores for groceries and produce, two convenience stores, and some restaurants. Our suite had a safe. The neighborhood is fairly quiet, unlike most places near 5th Avenue. For hot water, turn the taps clockwise. Then wait. Very patiently. The housekeeping service was acceptable, but we had to be proactive in requesting and obtaining toilet paper and some missing towels.
The cons: The in-room wifi connection was sometimes good, but often unusable. It frequently disconnected, especially in the evenings. The wifi in public areas seemed better. Also, the gym was fairly well equipped, but it is closed from around 10 pm to 9 am. They open the roof-top lounge at 7:30 am, so why not open the adjacent gym too? Regarding the roof-top lounge, the music was always too loud, so we avoided the lounge altogether. Quiet background music is what they need. Also, the hotel has no laundry machines. The stairways are not all well-lit, and there are no handrails. Beside each stairway are glass panels that have some sharply angled corners. I cut my hand on one, so avoid touching them.
Except for the unreliable wifi, most of the issues are minor, and I recommend this hotel.
