Wouldn't want to be anywhere else

WOW - this hotel is off the charts! The staff are courteous and extremely helpful and many of them speak good english. We came to Guatemala for an adoption and ran into other adoptive families who were staying at other hotels that had nobody who spoke English, such as the Holiday Inn. If someone is telling you to stay somewhere because it is closer...don't listen - taxi's were always handy and there was lots to do within walking distance.
The food at the restaurant was great - they have a full menu as well as three buffets, dinner, lunch, and breakfast -- all great.
High speed internet is wireless and can be used in your room, however if you are uploading or downloading large files we found that better to do on the main floor, so we would come down to the restaurant and sit at one of the tables near an outlet for as long as we liked.
Here is the clincher - - I had to go to the grocery store (two places down from our hotel) to get a different kind of formula for our son because he wasn't tolerating the kind we brought. The grocery didn't have the exact kind I needed, so I came back to the hotel and asked the front desk staff for their help and they had another store deliver exactly what I needed about 15 minutes later! What service!!
You can stay somewhere else if you want, but you will not have a better stay anywhere else in Guatemala City!
