The Elevators don't Always Work
Guests reported that any given time, there is at least one elevator not working which means the other one gets crowded. Guests also reported that one of the elevators never stops at the right floor.
negative:
There is a lot of Noise Around the Hotel
The noise around El Maragato is almost non-stop and comes from several sources including loud air-conditioning units, heavy downtown traffic at all hours of the day and night and people walking and talking loudly on the sidewalk along the hotel at all hours.
negative:
There is a Lack of Air Conditioning
Although the rooms are advertised as having air conditioning, the units don't do anything to cool the rooms which makes the environment quite hot and stuffy.
