Stayed for two weeks. Paid $29.00 US per night, so we were not expecting high class accommodations. It's like a Motel 6 inside a restored 1940s hotel. If you are a fussy, stuffy, "Ugly American"-type, do not stay here; stay at the Emporio. The Ruiz Milan is close to what interested us: The Malecon, the Zocalo, and El Gran Café de la Parroquia. The parking garage is adjacent to the hotel, so access to our vehicle was convenient. The hotel does not allow you to take your car out more than once per day. I assume that this is because the spaces are limited and cramped, so the concierge has to sometimes move several cars to get to yours. For us, this was not an inconvenience because we used our rental car for long day trips. The AC unit in our room worked well, but it is not central air so it must remain at a preset level whenever it is on. It worked so well that we used a warm blanket at night to stay comfortable. There is a small indoor swimming pool and a Jacuzzi that functions with the water at room temperature.The staff is very pleasant.
