Frommer's Review

This hotel offers a great location, acceptable levels of comfort, and a good array of amenities. The high-rise building is located about a block and a half from the Altamira Metro station and the heart of the area's restaurants and shops. Most of the rooms are quite large and qualify as junior suites, although the bathrooms in most cases are disproportionately small. Maintenance and upkeep have historically been lax, but it was in pretty spiffy shape when I visited in 2007. The nicest feature here is the shady outdoor terrace area surrounding the hotel's surprisingly inviting little pool.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; small outdoor pool; tour desk; limited room service; laundry service

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
