    convenient location for us closer to the highway and car rental place; not a very walkable area but less busy and noisy than downtown

    Nice place. Has room service. Some staff speak English, but all are willing to try to understand my bad Spanish. It is a events hotel, so be prepared for large noisy groups at all meals and through the day
