Puerto Mercado Hotel

Puerto Mercado Hotel

8/10 Good
"Great location. On arrival I could tell the housekeepers did a good job as everything appeared very clean including the bedding. Having said that, the day before I checked out I almost stepped on the largest cockroach I have ever seen in my life while I was about to get in the shower. I travel enough to know that this can happen, especially in historic zones, but it still creeped me out. It was HUUGE."
