Almacruz Hotel y Centro de Convenciones
Very friendly staff, perfect location, the rooms are not new but clean and comfortable. I would say there is room for improvement for the breakfast and also the drinks menu (stuff not available). But overall I would recommend this hotel and we will come back without a hesitation!
