The location is very central. The staff is not proactive and trusted to make decision without checking with a manager. Empower your employees especially the ones with tenure and experience. There has to be a better way of allowing people with e-cedula cards to get the discount for hotel stays. Going through RIU International reservation does not work. It is as if it e-cedula not accepted by RIU.

When we first arrive we accused of smoking. Then we were harassed daily. Listening outside of room and going through the trash. I have stayed at many Roy but this one the rudest, mildew smell place. I’m n my birthday they didn’t even put something in the door as previously requested. I canceled my rewards membership and will never stay at a RIU AGAIN! Thanks Riu plaza for messing up my bday!
