This hotel has two things going for it: location (close to the old town and heart of things) and service (very helpful even though most of them don't speak English). The downsides are that the rooms are dirty, muggy, and just plain not nice! I wish they had kept the old character charm of this old building but the rooms... More

The hotel is right next to a string of bars/restaurants - perfect if you want to stay out and eat or party. That might be an issue for people trying to sleep, but we were out late and from New York City, so it didn't bother us at all. It's also around the corner from 2 of the main plazas.... More

We arrived on December 31st around noon. A street party had blocked all access to the hotel by car. Hotel staff was very helpful and accommodating in providing directions on how to find the parking garage and carrying our luggage to the hotel. During the afternoon, the street party (at the hotel footsteps) went on with loud music and people... More

Plaza Fuerte is a small hotel next to the old town. The rooms are modernized, but have some strange features, as the bed on the higher level of the room. But altogether a nice experience. More

My first room (#401) appeared to have been the center of the social scene for parties, smoking and whatever else might occur at a party. The room smelled of smoke, the carpet was stained and the couch in the living room was not at all welcoming. I attempted to stay in room and endure the after effects of who knows... More

Excellent location with many nearby restaurants and bars (safe to walk to at night). Beautiful interior and exterior but the carpets in the room were stained in multiple places and did not seemed to be vaccuumed, ever. Take a three block walk to the riverfront and make your way to the beach, about a 30 minute walk. Overall, would stay... More

it all depends: Do not go to the hotel, if: - you can not walk stairs, - need a spa or fitness center, or - do not like anything built before 2005, and - mind walking down some narrow stairs if you want to open or close the window in the middle of the night or change the air-condition/heater settings....
