4/10 Poor

Main complaint is that the power was out when I arrived about 8pm and stayed out until 1:30 or 2 in the morning, and this hotel has no power inverter, thus no A/C in a stuffy room without window to the outside. I would not stay here again unless the hotel has back up power. The woman who helped me check in (not an owner) was the best part of my stay. She tried her best and thought I might like their sister hotel down the street better. I would have if there was electricity but there wasn’t. Since I was the only person staying in this hotel, I think she may have been trying to get rid of me so she could go home. However, their other hotel was actually worse, so I went back to D’Cornelio. Because the power was out, that also means that the water pump, la bomba, won’t work, and thus, no water. No shower. No toilet flush. Currently I’m living in the campo and have to bucket bathe. Good thing I know how because that’s how I cleaned up that night before bed. That whole night was horrible, worst night I’ve ever spent in a hotel. It has a good location but it isn’t marked well, and there is a massive road construction project underway. Also, I didn’t like that I couldn’t freely come and go from the hotel. There’s a locked gate that the employee has to lock and unlock for you. You have to yell in from the street to ask the employee to come and unlock the door. Also, a lot of cockroaches, but those don’t bother me a lot. I would consider staying here again if they have power backup
