Our family of 5 stayed at CondoHotel El Patio when it was the only place we could find on internet to stay over Christmas. We were very happy to find an apartment, managed by a well-reviewed hotel, where we could stay for a reasonable amount of money. There was a living room, kitchen area, and two small bedrooms, each with a queen bed which were the hardest beds I have ever encountered, and I've encountered a lot of beds in 35 years of travelling on 4 continents. The living room furniture was sparce and also uncomfortable. The kitchen had a few dishes and utensils, fridge and stove. The pullout sofa was very uncomfortable; son made do by putting the thin mattress onto the floor at night. The location on the north end of 5th avenue was basically useful for getting around; it was a 10 minute walk to the beach, and right downstairs were several small restaurants and bars. However, the most aggrevating part of the stay was the incessant, late-night bar noise from downstairs. Our bedroom was located directly over what had to have been one of the loudest bars on 5th avenue. Husband even went downstairs one night and mingled with the crowd on the street, until finally talking to one dude who was singing into a bullhorn, pointing upstairs at our room and asking him, kindly, to let us sleep (which he did). Without earplugs, this vacation would have been a disaster. Also, the maids collect the towels at 10 am and don't bring back dry ones until 1 or 2 pm (forget coming in from the beach to clean up before lunch). Sheets are changed every 3 days, so get quite sandy. Finally, son was awakened one night by a guy trying to break into our 2nd floor apt; when that was unsuccessful, the same dude tried to sell him cocaine through the open but (thankfully) barred window. Would not return to CondoHotel, nor recommend it to anyone.
