Stayed with my girl for the night (Q187 the double room) and it wasn't that bad... But there were some details that really gave us hell haha here is the breakdown:||||THE GOOD:||- private bathroom||- the room, bed and bathroom were clean||- plenty of hot water||- the bed was comfortable||||THE BAD:||- nothing but a small corner table to place your stuff||- the shower's drain was a bit cloged and if you take too long to shower your entire room will get flooded ||- amenities...

One note is that the hotel is on the main street by the market, so ask for a room at the back. Hopefully the mattresses are the...
Read moreOur night at Casa Santa Lucia was the worst hotel stay of our lives and caused us to cut our weekend in Antigua short. First, there were cock roaches in the bathroom...about 6 in total. The shower didn't drain well, so after the first shower there was water in the bathroom the rest of the night.||Then at about 2:00am a group of drunk teenagers came in and woke up the entire hotel. We complained to management, who said they would talk to the group, but then did absolutely nothing. So we asked them ourselves to be quiet, which they then quieted down a bit, but started up again later. Then we heard a rat scrambling about behind the window in our bathroom.||We didn't sleep a wink and left as soon as the...
