“Hotel Quinta Avenida strikes me as clean; however, the neighborhood's safety is a concern and the lack of private parking presents a challenge, requiring early morning car relocation. Ultimately, based on reports, I'd suggest carefully weighing the value against the location's drawbacks before booking.”
