Hotel Dali Ejecutivo
The check in was difficult entrance where you turn in was backed up blocking the street cars honking with no direction from the employee upfront . I had to park in the parking lot next door which they charge me . I then walk to check in and the guy upfront was rude making sure to let me know there ...

Plaza Diana Hotel
I enjoyed this hotel and my only complaints are the safe (in a dark closet) and no fridge in the room. Outside temperature was 33C and I would have liked cold water.
