Hotel Abrego
This place is difficult to find and doesn’t have parking on site. You have to pull up to the door and the guy comes out and asks if you want him to take your car and park it or you can go with him and then come back. The room looks like they tried to update it but it doesn’t help it still looks dingy ...

Value and location both excellent and very clean!, just for sake of English speaking tourists it would be nice to have a translated printout of instructions to hand them. But enjoyed my stay!
