Best rooms
Request a room on the second floor, as it is the upper floor of the hotel and likely to be quieter due to the layout and lack of elevator. Avoid rooms near the service entrance, as it may lead to increased foot traffic and noise.
Request a room in the back half of the property, away from the dirt road that runs through Malpais. Upper-floor rooms (if any) offer better airflow and less chance of ground-level dust or noise from passing vehicles.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms near the service entrance, as it may lead to increased foot traffic and noise.
Avoid rooms facing the main road or near the reception/bar area—these catch the most vehicle noise from the unpaved lane and early-morning activity from staff setting up the day.
