Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Shower and sink took a long time to drain. Toilet clogged easily and spilled over. Maintenance came promptly and unclogged it, however refused to provide cleaning/disinfectant products as he said since there was no smell, it wasn't a problem. The provided shampoo did not lather. The location is downtown which is great for tourism, however the cathedral bells ring multiple times an hour not stopping throughout the night. The bells would continuous wake us up and we could hear the neighbours also waking up as the walls were very thin. Regular cleaning staff and front desk personnel were nice and friendly.

WORST EXPERIENCE GILFER HOTEL

I contracted Covid the afternoon I arrived after I tested. I notified the cleaning staff not to enter to protect her. I wasn't ill but I had tested positive. I would go out to pick up my food or eat at an outdoor restaurant. The manager told me I would have to leave! I would have to go to my families home (I'm on vacation. I have no family there) or she would call the police to remove me or an ambulance to take me to the hospital. I had already gone to the hospital to confirm my self test and was seen by a physician who told me I tested positive but had no medical issues. Two days later I went to another hospital and saw a Pulmonary specialist who requested a scan of my lungs and said the same thing. I am vaccinated. I contracted Covid, however, I was not sick. She then asked me to see my medical records so she could view them. I declined. This was the WORST experience in my travels I have ever experienced. I will NEVER visit the city again. I contacted the Secretaría de Salud who advised me that it was illegal for anyone to demand to view the medical records of someone. I stayed until my departure date and have not and will not return

Una calle atrás del centro, cuenta con estacionamiento. Es un hotel viejito, pero a comparación de otros (hasta más nuevos) no tiene problemas con el agua caliente. Su restaurante es básico, pero bueno, desayunos competos y ricos, servicio muy rápido. Frente hay una taqueria y un café con buenas opciones.
