If you like having a refrigerator to cool your drinks off or even put some cold cuts and cheese this is the place for you. There is also a electric hot stove with two burners. And a coffee makers and plates and utensils with drinking glasses. The ceiling lamp shade hangs low enough over the dining table that a few times I accidentally bumped my head into it. I suggest you bring some soap or shower wash like Dove to use when you shower because you only get one bar of soap to do everything. Also I like to hang up my clothes so I took 12 metal hangers with me. The closet has 5 hangers not enough for me. I stayed here close to three weeks. So I needed to have a good change of clothing. The hotel is a few steps from two restaurants that open 8 am weekday and 9 am weekends until around 5 pm. Basic meal with refillable coffee -the waiter comes and pours more-- will cost you 60 pesos about US$3.00. The bed is very comfortable. Best sleep I had in years. The block is quiet. Safe area. You see the police in their cruiser making rounds. Two blocks walk south then left is Calle Rio Lerma where all the action is such as restaurants and bars. When I first arrived i was able to dine in. Unfortunately the Covid-19 count went up so food was only "llevar" to carry out. There is a range of food prices depending on what you are looking for. At Calle Nilo a couple blocks over is a very good taco shop with decent prices but like I say it's too bad I could no longer go in there to sit and eat. On an early Sunday morning the hotel arranged a car service pick up for me that cost $230 pesos about US$11.50. Took 20 minutes to arrive at the airport leaving at 5:30 AM. It's helpful to brush up on your Spanish because when you speak to staff they will drift off from English back to Spanish. So be prepared. Staff is a very great set of people who are helpful. My room was clean. It's located about a 15-minute walk from the Sevila subway Line 1. The fare on the train is currently 5 pesos. On the bus it's 6 pesos. I suggest you buy a fare card from the machine. You can always recharge the card either at the machine or with the clerk. If you recharge at the clerk you need to put the card up against the card reader-- I had no idea that is what she was telling me until someone who worked there came over and showed me to place it against the reader. When you're at the bus stop you can also recharge the card. Just stick the card in then it would read the balance. Then you can use a bill or coins. Then press recharga.. Don't do like me and make a mistake where I accidentally hit cancelar instead of recharge then the machine took my 50-peso bill and spit out a receipt. That's robbery. Where I live if you don't get service the machine spits back out your bill or coins. So beware you're warned.even though it's only $2.50 it's still money stolen brazenly. I added a lot of extra information because you will need these and your stay will be much more pleasant. Plus it might take a while to get information if you meet a clerk who is not that good with English.
