I stayed in the Abasto Plaza for two nights in October 2004. The staff allowed me to check in very early (11 a.m.) and were friendly and accomodating throughout my stay. The room was large, clean, and had lots of modern amenities and a very big bathroom. The complimentary breakfast buffet includes a wide variety of delicious hot and cold foods. The immediate surrounding neighborhood is a bit grungy, but the location is central to lots of shopping and good restaurants just a short walk or cab ride away. I plan to stay here again on my next visit.
