Mixed experience at this hotel

central locationsmall roomrestaurant food
The location was acceptable, being fairly central to the city.
The room seemed smaller than the photos suggested. My room was quite dark with no real window view, so it felt a bit like being in a cave. Dinner at the restaurant below, Asador 44, was a disappointment, and I would not recommend it.

stale snacksinadequate air conditioning
I found the room quite stuffy. The air conditioning seemed to have a mind of its own. It was either too hot or too cold, never just right. I did not get great sleep. The minibar was a letdown too. A few lackluster options were available. The promised snacks were stale. a few tweaks would improve the experience considerably.
