“The hotel's marvelous interior decoration and comfortable rooms came as a pleasant surprise, considering the entrance facade could use some love; those lucky enough to get a room overlooking the Tomebamba River are in for a treat. While the absence of televisions and parking may be a drawback for some, the attentive service makes it a comfortable base.”
