The studio was beautiful, clean, and very well kept, with plenty of great lighting that made the space feel bright and welcoming. The only downside was that there wasn’t enough toilet paper provided, so I had to purchase more twice during my stay. Other than that, I had an amazing experience and would definitely...

Suites Plaza del Rio - Family Hotel Malecon Centro

8/10 Good
"Todo estuvo muy bien es la 2da vez que me quedo en este hotel. Lo unico fue que la mayor parte de mi estadía no vi a nadie en recepción, y el número que tienen para pedir ayuda o servicio no contestan ni por llamada ni por texto. Un dia antes de mi salida vi a alguien en recepción reporte que mi baño no bajaba el agua, quedaron de ir a arreglarlo, hasta el dia que sali no fueron a arreglarlo. El dia que salino habia personal en recepción. Me gustó mas la última vez que me quedé. Igual esta muy bonito y cuidado. Lo recomiendo para familias con niños."
