This hotel was fine for what it was. It was not super luxurious, it was not on a main street, it was a basic place to sleep. Keep in mind, the galapagos isn't hawaii, there are no mega hotels, no Hiltons, although there are nicer places then this. It was maybe 4 blocks from the main road, which wasn't too bad, considering that a cab is a dollar, and most tours, even day tours will pick you up from your hotel. My only complaint, the walls are thin and the rooms smell like insecticide.
