GENERAL DESCRIPTION: Fronting the Plaza de la Independencia, this recently renovated downtown colonial structure is an atmospheric, affordable, and perfectly located option. The rooms are all spacious, with high ceilings, bright patterned bed linens, rattan headboards, and sparkling tile floors. All come with two twin beds, and for a budget option, you'll be surprised to find a large television, with four international cable channels. The best rooms are the four that share a long broad veranda overlooking Calle Maceo and the central park.
