SureStay Plus Hotel by Best Western Dorado, Tacna

Older hotel with some old fashioned charm. Parquet wood floors and a rather interesting layout. Friendly and good service. Room was basic - clean and the bed was comfortable. No A/C so I opened the window for the cool night air. Quite noisy both at night and early the next morning. Nice TV (you get the remote at check-in and return at checkout) but the shower took a long time to provide hot water though my colleague on another floor did not have this problem. Good location and very reasonable prices.

There is no sound insulation in the rooms so you can hear the person in the room next to you, above you, the disco next door (till 2 AM) and people in the street. Shower take 5 minutes to heat an insignifican water flux. Internet is bad.

Central hotel, lovely 50 year old building, ample rooms, high ceilings, spacious rooms and bathrooms. Flat screen CableTV, plenty of hot water. Lovely parquet floors, great buffet breakfast, nice 5th floor terrace with a pool. Decent service. Good bartenders. However, owners should do more. There was not a glass in my room. The doors kind of dirty and I wasn't so sure about the cleanliness of the tub. The monitors at the internet area were old boxes, not new flat panels. They let guests bring glasses to the pool...they should be plastic. The area is full of bars and it is noisy. So ask for the back rooms. I had one on the 3rd floor facing the street and it was booming until 2am on a Thursday night. Our corporate rate came to S/.160 for a single. Not that expensive for the city. I would go back, but the hotel cries for more attention. It is a pity, has the potential.
