Hotel San Martin — Hotel in Trujillo

My husband and I got a room here on a daytime layover between buses. We found this in the Lonely Planet budget options, but when we arrived, discovered that the prices had risen considerably since our guide was published (2010). We were tired and needed a place to crash, so we got a room anyway. The lobby looked very nice and clean, so we figured the rooms would be similar. Beyond the lobby, the hotel is worn and echoey. Our room was small (which was fine), and appeared somewhat clean until we discovered a used condom in the middle of the bathroom floor.

Bei der Abreise wurde dann aber nur 30 Dollar pro...
