Principado Downtown
This was an amazing hotel. The room was just the right size, the staff was amazing! In fact, they went above and beyond for me when I was not feeling well. Truly a class act organization. The location is great. Easy walking and safe. Touristy stuff nearby but easy to get to the other parts of town ...
