GrandView Hotel & Convention Center
Clean room but did not like the set up where bathroom sink is separated from the bathroom. No bath mats available, so you would have to improvise with the limited 2 bath towels and one hand towel provided to ensure that you do not wet the floor while moving from the bathroom to the sink outside.

Huinid Obelisco Hotel
Very clean, nice rooms, helpful staff. The breakfast was good and the lobby bar served some food in off hours, which was appreciated. The hotel was located centrally, but in an area that was less appealing to walk, especially in the evening.
