Stay Hotel Faro Centro
Decent place! I’m grateful for the clean place to stay. If you’re traveling on a budget and want to treat yourself to a night or two in a private space, this is a good spot. 10:00 am checkout is a bit inhumane, and the shower was pretty tiny, but it did the trick for a night. The staff was sweet. ...
