This hotel does NOT have an elevator. As management said if I had arrived before they close the front desk they would have carried my bags. My point is that I don't believe that any where in their info about the room, there is no mention of no elevator. I would never again book a room with no elevator. I stayed at plenty of older buildings that have been retrofitted for modern stays, but all had elevators. Management is in the process of redoing the rooms one at a time, since they need updating. I discussed the needs of the room with them, so I will not natter on about what needs to be redone, except that you can hear rats in the walls while they are in the process of redoing the rooms. Centrally located, places close by to eat, mercado for fruit & drink shopping, and a huge shopping street close by also. Good location.
