Local
owner:
Sergio
(speaks
execellent

and
has
been
to
the
USA,
there
most
days)
Outstanding
evening

English,
exceptionally
helpful,
and
there
overnights
except
for
Tuesdays)
Wonderful,
honest
housekeepers,
especially
Sandra
and
Suri!
Cons:
On
2
busy
streets
(all
night),
so
bring
earplugs
if
you
are
sensitive
to
city
noise
Like
most
neighborhoods,
almost
everything
closes
every
Sunday,
but
you
can
plan
to
check
out
one
or
all
of
the
big
malls
(centro
comercials)
like
Premimum
Plaza,
Santa
Fe,
Unicentro,
and
Florida,
as
these
are
the
places
to
eat,
play,
go
to
movies,
shop,
and
relax
on
Sundays.
Tops
floors
of
the
malls
here
are
entertainment
hubs,
and
these
are
all
very
safe
inside
with
helpful
security
people
and
families
enjoying
their
leisure
time.
In
a
transitioning
neighborhood,
on
the
rise,
with
cheaper
prices
than
fully
remodeled
areas,
but
do
not
walk
here
at
night,
even
in
groups-
take
a
taxi
directly
to
the
door
and
never
get
your
phone
out
near
here,
even
while
seated
in
a
taxi!
Get
a
map
of
the
area
(city
government
website)
showing
city
established
estratas
(neighborhoods)
rated
1-6,
with
1
being
ghetto
poor
and
6
being
filthy
rich.
Hotel
is
in
3
but
close
to
4s
to
walk
through
and
2s
to
avoid.
Be
aware
everywhere
as
thieves
know
where
people
with
money
are
too!
Having
a
dummy
wallet
with
a
few
small
peso
notes
is
a
good
idea
to
have
something
to
offer
a
theif.
The
estratas
estrellas
are
just
for
economic
rating,
as
the
neighborhoods
are
called
comunas
(or
barrios).
The
hotel
is
in
the
comuna
San
Benito,
in
the
center
(centro)
of
the
city.
No
washing/drying
clothes
machines
there,
but
they
have
a
send-out
service
No
iron/board
No
safes
to
use
in
rooms
or
at
front
desk
