This hotel is dated but with some charm. The first room we got had no windows and smelled like chemicals. The service is excellent, though. They provided us with a better room at the same cost, starting the second night. Their restaurant on the first floor is great. Morning breakfast (free) and afternoon meals (for a fee) are superb. The location is great, too. So, stay here if you are not picky about modern and updated everything. The city is just like this hotel, BUT the river and jungle tours are amazing.
