El Angolo Piura — Hotel in Piura

You'd think for the outrageous price that this hotel is charging that you'd get luxury back in return. I have one word for that: monopoly. Piura is not a tourist town, and I suspect that many visitors are professional or business, rather than tourist class. There aren't many good hotels to choose from, and el Angolo knows it. ||||The rooms of Angolo are very strangely designed. The first room we had was L-shaped, dark, old, had bare flourescent lighting, cobwebs by the bathroom, mismatched and thin bed linens and room furniture. I swear I was in the twilight zone. They were renovating so I guess they knew that it needed an update. Highlight of the hotel included a skunk being chased and netted out of the pool.

The pool is tiny & crammed between 2 buildings, the breakfast is simple & offers very little variety, day after day, I have only luke warm water every morning for a shower, the restaurant is very expensive, small portions, & not very good, parking is minimal & on a very steep incline, and the gymnasium has old, worn out machines. The hotel staff are the only shining light here! This hotel is trying hard to look more expensive than it ever could be. There is renovations & construction going on all over the hotel. I would definitely pay the little extra and stay nearby, at...
