Although my room wasn't ready for 1 1/2 hours, while my companions got theirs immediately, I eventually found a spacious and VERY clean room. The beds were comfortable, and everything was squeaky clean. The location was great for exploring the city and enjoying views of the volcanoes, but the service had some issues. The dining experience was delightful, with a good variety of fresh and tasty food, but the facilities lacked some amenities I expected.

The hotel is in a very central area of Guatemala City, close to the Plaza de Independencia and Aurora Park. The rooms are comfortable and provide an excellent view from the 10th floor, but there is no automated temperature control. The staff is very friendly and competent, although they can be a bit inflexible. The location is convenient, near the main Zona Viva, but a block away from restaurants. The dining options are diverse, with buffet choices ranging from frijoles negros to assorted cereals. The facilities offer shuttle services and welcome drinks, but USB ports in the rooms would be helpful for guests without their chargers.
