"We would stay here again. The location is great, just a couple of blocks from the city center and only a 20-minute walk to the ruins entrance. Breakfast was awesome. They made us a nice vegan plate with beans, tortillas, fruit, coffee, and orange juice, which we loved. The AC cranks if you're looking for subarctic temperatures. The shower took a second to warm up, but it was nice and hot. Tip:  The street dogs, most of which are very friendly, meet in front of the building every morning at 6:00 a.m. Before we arrived, the hotel helped us arrange transport to our next destination (Santa Ana on a shuttle for $55 each)."
