Hotel Mercado by gaiarooms
The property was conveniently located and near attractions. The staff were helpful. However drinking water was not readily available. Breakfast required going out to another location and not worth the price.

It is easy walking distance to town, but the grounds are huge and make it feel like a resort. I would recommend it to anyone.
