Overall the stay was 'ok' for first visit to this part of the world. Big positives were that is was in a safe area of the city, not much going on that stretch of city block after sun goes down so no security concerns which was nice. Other positives were the friendliness of the staff despite the language gap experienced from both sides ie my limited Spanish and their limited English, the full buffet breakfast served each morning was really nice way to start each day, proximity about 2 blocks from super market (think Super Walmart or Target size and offerings of food, clothes, electronics, money exchange, etc) also a huge convenience and the cleanliness of the facilities to include the room I stayed in. The room was comfortable with a firm mattress, plenty of closet space, desk & chair, stocked mini-fridge, good a/c unit, older but working tv and clean bathroom with large shower. The water never got very warm but was tolerable and found out this is the situation for most of the city. Being that I am a frequent traveler and have stayed in some of the nicer hotels around the globe I'd have to give the Charthon a middle of the pack mark for this stay. I do want to thank their staff again for their hospitality, great people to have met for sure!
