AlanaHotel all fine!
The Hotel Novo was as described, great staff, hotel could do with some tlc but I was only one night here arriving late from the airport and heading to the Pacific next day. Room was clean, bed was comfy, WiFi worked fine…
JohnIt was ok for the price. Breakfast was ok.
It's in a dodgy area, so don't go outside after dark on your own and keep phones, jewellery and valuables out of sight
DanyVery well located. Closed by parking are very expensive. Quite noisy between 5AM and midnight (note that i live country side). price is good for the location
mantonStaff is very nice and food is great
hector de jesusNice hotel, to stay one night. The area doesn't look very safe
CharlesLoud traffic early in the morning and loud music in the evening.

The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 3:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
