Hotel Sagarnaga
A very conveniently close hotel to the witches market and San francisco church. Their food and staff was amazing. There is a cuban restaurant walking distance from the hotel. Very close to main attractions and in a quiet street near food. I would stay again.

Hotel LP Columbus
I enjoyed everything about this property. The only thing that could use an improvement is the breakfast food. I wish there were more protein options. The rooms, staff, and wi-fi were all great. Javier was always helpful and courteous.
