Expedia and the hotel not fair at all. Due to unfortunate cut I had to cancel my trip last minute, I called to cancel on the phone , using the app and called the hotel to cancel right way. Hotel agreed to cancel and only charge me one night but now Expedia is saying I have to pay the full 4 nights trying to blame the hotel.

Friendly staff in all areas of the hotel we visited, spa, front desk, restaurant, bellmen, etc! Our Spanish isn’t the best but almost everyone spoke English so we were able to communicate without feeling judged. The room itself was a little dated: view was of a parking lot ( to be expected I guess with so many other tall buildings around), shower door didn’t close all the way but we were able to overlook them because we only had an overnight stay.oh and the bed was comfortable!

I like the property, staff, everyone was friendly and helpful. I didn't like that two people were in one room and you always got one wash cloth.. you would have to asked for another one all the time.. This hotel would great if they had a microwave and the pool bigger

15 min drive to the old city. But Uber is very cheap here. You are in the financial district but this hotel great food and the staff goes above and beyond to make your stay memorable. We ate at la compania and it was ok for being a luxury hotel and the staff at the luxury hotel very rude. Where we stayed all the staff from the door man Gabriel, Micheal Angelo to check in Juan, selene and the little bar.. the ladies are amazing!! Then you go to the dining the staff- Juan, Simon, Carlos, William, all the ladies and the chef.. they all deserve a raise. The meals are fantastic!! Stay here the feel of the boutique hotel. Thanks for a great vacation!!!

Really enjoyed my stay during New Year's at this location. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, I enjoyed the breakfast options available and room service. Absolutely loved the tub and being able to relax. Also, the spa service was great! One of the best massages I ever had. Only suggestion would be updating the pool area and maybe cleaning it more frequently. Otherwise, I enjoyed my stay.
