Affordable Hotel in David – Puerta Del Sol Hotel

Affordable Hotel in David – Puerta Del Sol Hotel

Lobby is air-conditioned and comfortable

It’s always risky to recommend a hotel to someone you don’t know.

We all have such different opinions about what constitutes clean, comfortable, good service, and good value.

However, if you are looking for a hotel in David that is:

  • Comfortable enough
  • Centrally located
  • Not expensive

I personally recommend the Hotel Puerta del Sol.

I think this hotel offers very good value and comfort.

Rooms

The rooms are large, well maintained, and air-conditioned. They are also are mostly quiet. You should avoid the rooms facing the hotel’s street entrance (the east-side, I think), at least on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday nights. There is a very loud disco across the street. Other than these nights all the rooms are reasonably quiet.

Update:  The disco has closed down. So any of the rooms are equally quiet.

Location

Hotel Puerta del Sol is centrally located a block and a half south of the central park. Therefore, many errands can be run on foot. It is also an easy location to hail a taxi.

Parking

If you have a car, the hotel offers both underground parking lot and the secure covered parking area located by the hotel’s restaurant.

Gym?

Hotel Puerta del Sol does not have a gym or a pool. However, I understand that there is a gym within a few blocks of the hotel. If anyone knows of a gym, or a pool, in David, that offers daily rates, please let us know.

Cost

The time that I stayed at Hotel Puerta del Sol by myself, I think the cost was $45 or so. The cost for the family is $55.

More Info

The Hotel has a good website, and the current prices are listed.
