Hotel Cultura Plaza

10/10 Excellent
"Great stay in a basic but adequate room. The only concern was a hallway light that was on a very, very quick timer, which made the hallway too dark and scary. Room was a bit noisy with traffic below, even though it was on the fifth floor. Breakfast was very good. Great location"
