Fodor's Expert Review Galería Plaza

Conveniently located on a quiet street in a not-quiet neighborhood, this modern hotel boasts a rooftop pool with sundeck, a secure underground parking lot, and 24-hour room service at a fair price.

room

Simple and clean, though most in need of some updates. Standard and even deluxe rooms are very small; spend a little more for a suite.

bathroom

Very clean but basic and in need of updating.

YOU SHOULD KNOW Some of the showers are rather cramped, and situated so that the water can spill onto the carpet. Check the bathroom layout when you arrive.

lobby

Spacious and businesslike, with a pleasant lobby bar.

pool

Rooftop pool is small but has an adjoining whirlpool and large sundeck with views. There is also a pool bar with light bites.

spa

Hotel staff can arrange outside spa services.

gym

Small but modern and well-appointed fitness center.

dining

Almara bills its food as "Mexi-terranean" and is quite good, though closed Sundays.

drinking

Mood Bar has good cocktails and is open until 1 a.m. 7 days a week.
