Hotels near Municipal Fraijanes Park, Villa Canales

I've been a loyal customer, staying at this hotel on average twice a year for the past 25 years. Yes, that includes the period prior to the hotel being a Hilton. The last time I stayed I had an issue with the reception desk, but now it was worse. Turns out that I was ”upgraded” to a Jr. Suite, something I didn't want because most of the upgraded rooms face the loud highway. I explained that I preferred a garden facing room regardless of the upgrade, but they couldn't accommodate me because they had no availability of those rooms. So, I accepted the upgrade, but because the room wasn't ready, I left telling the front desk that I would be back later that night. I came back close to 9:00pm to find that indeed my room was facing the highway, but then the surprise...the room had no windows! Oh yes, there was glass where windows were supposed to be, but they were frosted or white. Needless to say, you couldn't see out and it felt like a cave! Well, it was late so I decide to go to sleep and deal with it in the morning. Morning came, I went to the front desk and told them how unhappy I was and that the room was unacceptable and that I wanted to leave given that they couldn't accommodate my request. Well, to my surprise they were going to charge me the penalty for checking out early. I explained that it was not my fault, that they should check with the manager. They then offered a room next to the elevator which I declined. Explaining that it was okay if they had no availability, and that I would just leave. No issue, those things happen and I would be back another time. I went back to the room to gather my bags came back to the front desk to check out and yes, the manager had said NO to my request to not charge the penalty so I had to pay the $25 plus tax. What a stupid move by the hotel, after 25 years, they had lost a client for $25. Amazing! Of course I will never stay at the hotel ever again and will do what I can to tell everyone my story.

I loved my hotel room. The hotel staff were friendly but the restaurant staff were not very friendly. The pool was nice but could be cleaner. Nice neighborhood with lots of food options nearby. Super close to airport. Don't take the hotel shuttle though. I paid for shuttle and they just called me an Uber! I could have saved 20 bucks.

B&B type hotel is located in the community. It is safer. The hotel service is very good. The local big sister cooks breakfast. The hotel is clean and hygienic.

I was unable to get in the security gate for the neighborhood giving only the hotels name and street address, but as I had a local phone, I called the property and they gave the street address with number of address (20-50 added to Diagonal 26, along with hotel name), and security let us in. Arriving a few minutes later, the taxi left, and I rolled my luggage to a locked door at the address and pushed the buzzer...nothing. I pushed the other buzzer with a individual's name...nothing. Buzzed again....nothing. Luckily (again) I had my phone and called the hotel where the offsite worker asked if I had pressed the buzzer, then said they would have the assistant open the door for me. A few minutes later, I was met and ushered in, and when shown to my room was not provided a key. The room locks from inside, so that was fine. I believe the nearly empty hotel had a staffing issue at this time and the friendly, helpful, courteous person helping was not a regular check-in employee, , accounting for all of the above issues. After settling in, the room was spotlessly clean, spacious, great views of the mountainside, quiet, SOOOOO very close to the airport, had breakfast available for a small fee, free airport shuttle was perfectly on time. I would stay here again.
