"Location is unbeatable. I've used this hotel several times now (>5) as a 1-night stay for late/early flights.
The location is amazing for getting to/from the airport and car rentals.
The hotel itself is good; it's 'classic' decor can seem outdated, but it fits its style.
The room was clean, staff was friendly (as usual), and the breakfast is good.
A no-brainer for a 1/2 night stay while travelling or waiting for a connection."
"El personal fue muy amable se nota está recién remodelado el restaurante y la comida estuvo bien, el estado de las habitaciones con respecto al costo por noche fue el adecuado"
"The room was clean and the staff was very nice and helpful with everything I needed. The room stayed cold and everything was in working order. The one issue I had was the wifi kept dropping and the tv was maxed out in storage so trying to use any of the streaming platforms at night was a challenge. Out of everything though that was my only dislike. 5 stars all around would recommend to anyone going to Managua."
