I liked the convenience of Colonial hotel. It is just two blocks from Plaza Grande and surrounded by shops and restaurants. It isn’t luxury, so if you want luxury pay double (plus) and stay at the Hyatt, I like a comfortable bed, clean room, and convenience. This hotel had all. I was able to walk around the city easily from the hotel and yet it was so close that when I wanted to get out of the heat I had a short walk to my air conditioned room. They had water available on every floor. All of the staff, front desk, maintenance, bellhop, cleaning, we’re very friendly. Their $9 breakfast buffet was great, but I only went there once as I preferred smaller meals so the buffet wasn’t for me. Don’t expect a perfect hotel, the furniture shows heavy usage, tiles may be cracked, but I can look past that. Again, a very convenient location, well worth giving up luxury perfect accommodations. The pool is nice, good setting and the terrace is great. You can sit on the open terrace at night with a view of the city. If you sit there during the day it will be scorching hot because there is no covered area. I will stay there every time I go back.
