Hotel Tazumal House

The hotel is located very good, centrally with many restaurants close to it. Parking right beside the hotel. Good breakfast. Price/performance is top. Shower with warm wather, which is not always the case in Honduras. Good WIFI

After reading all the glowing reviews on this spot, we were HIGHLY disappointed in this hotel. We visited early December and were in ES for 2-weeks, part of that time in San Salvador and wanted to be close to them so we decided on this spot. Our initial impression was good; we met the owner and learned they have 2 properties just down the street from each other. She gave us recommendations on where we could eat after a late check in, so good. But after this, the lack of hospitality that we are accustomed to at basically every other place was non-existent here. The next day we had an early day out and realized we were only given 3 towels after paying for 4 people. We left so early (5 am) that we didn't have a chance to ask for the extra towel until we got back late (about 6 pm). The lady that was was at this hotel (I think the owner was at the newer hotel) was super stingy on the towels and complained that we were exchanged towels that were wet for new ones. Yes, our towels were wet; this is why we wanted new ones, plus the 4th towel that was missing. Anyways, after we basically had to beg for our towels and keep checking since we were hoping to shower and needed them, we noticed a gigantic roach at the top of the entryway to the kitchen... needless to say we did not eat the included breakfast at all (we had missed breakfast the first morning because again, we were out early before breakfast began). One of the worse things about this place was the terrible stench of cat urine in our room! When we first arrived, the room looked simple and smelled clean like bleach, which we liked. However, by nighttime we began getting a strong odor of cat urine... no, we did not bring pets! The smell was horrible and just got worse each day. For reference, we had the family room for 4 people in the back past the kitchen area (#7 or #9 I think?) If you take a risk or make the mistake of staying here and get this room, be careful with where you set your items on the floor, as some of our items reeked of the cat urine! Fortunately our next hotel had laundry service! We stayed for 3 nights (unfortunately we had busy days and no time to research/relocate to another spot!) and were so happy when it was time to leave! Maybe other rooms are better but we would definitely not recommend this place and will not return!
