Hotel y Restaurante Maria Ofelia

We really liked the food at the restaurant and the fact that the bar stayed open pretty late. The free airport shuttle was a bonus as well. Comfortable beds and good sheets.

The smell in the room was a little funky but we really did not like the automatic air freshener spraying stuff next to our beds every 30 minutes…

I like the facilities and friendliness of staff.

I didn’t like breakfast. They cook the food early in the morning and if you are not there yet, you are out of luck. Food tasted like plastic. I asked for French toasts and they were bad. Also, the scramble eggs and refried beans. However, I did like the cheese cake…

The one thing I liked was the closeness to the airport and the shuttle driver.

My wife switched rooms because of roaches and the towels smelled dirty. The room also had a fragrance that turned on every 10 min. The receptionist was not friendly at all. Plus I came back from the airport and they didn’t let me know my wife had changed rooms.

I admit that this is a type of property I’ve driven by so many times in the Central and South Americas as well as the Middle East and always thought ‘who’d stay there?’. I booked this property because I was solo, needed a room for a very short time, an airport shuttle was offered as well as breakfast. A marked shuttle van arrived about 10 minutes after I called via WhatsApp. Check-in was easy. My assigned room was very basic, but comfortable, and clean. It served the purpose for the night. There is an on-site restaurant with a decent menu. I had cold beer, chicken tacos, and flan. All quite good. There is also a bar on-site. Note that the restaurant accepts credit card; the bar does not. But USD are used in El Salvador, so not a problem. While the shuttle states ‘5 minutes from the airport’, it is actually a bit longer to the airport – close to 15 minutes. Just FYI for planning purposes. All staff was very friendly. I’d stay here again if the opportunity presented itself.

Breakfast starts a bit late for early flights so I was unable to partake in it.
