Fodor's Expert Review AZ Hotel and Suites

On a quiet street just a short walk from the bars and restaurants of El Cangrejo, AZ Hotel and Suites is a reincarnation of the former Las Huacas hotel, and is a good option if you're on a budget. Guest rooms in the new tower are bright but basic, with tile floors and mimimal furniture. Spacious suites in the old building have a kitchenette separated from the living room by a breakfast bar, a separate bedroom, and a smallish bathroom with a mosaic shower. Some have balconies, but because the building is squeezed between two apartment towers, only those in front have decent views. A free breakfast buffet is served in Café Bijaos, near which is a small pool.
