“Great Location, good value”
The best thing going for this place is the location--right across from the Malecon, within walking distance of a lot of places. It is not a 5 star hotel, but has a lot of character, represents great value for its location, and the staff for the most part was friendly. We arrived very early in the day to the Manso Boutique, prior to check in. The owner was very responsive and accommodating and gave us another spacious room, Mystic River suite, that was ready on the fourth floor (no elevator, but not a problem for us). This room is in the front part of the building, adjacent to a very busy street below, so was very noisy, even into the night. Their lunch menu was a very good value. The facial and "aromatherapy" massage that I arranged were also a great value, but don't expect a massage that you might experience elsewhere. The massage table had no hole in it for my head when facing down, and so I had to twist my neck, which was not very enjoyable. Otherwise, it was a pleasant way to spend the morning. I would definitely stay there again, and would recommend to folks who do not require ritzy accommodations. However, I would make sure to get a quieter room in the back.
