Hotel Art Deco Beach

It's a very old building, the elevator isn't working so if you bring luggage, it's going to be a nightmare having to climb all the stairs. They assigned our room on the fourth floor, and we had a lot of luggage. So we requested another room in a lower level, but he guy at the front desk refused, even though the hotel was almost empty (very few guests). Also, be prepared to spend the night waiting outside the hotel if you want to go out and want to come back late to your room. I went out the first night of my visit to La Ceiba, and when I came back, the lobby entrance was locked. I called the front desk and no one answered, and I kept knocking the front entrance door until someone could hear me. I literally had to wait 20 minutes outside until one employee decided to come downstairs to open the door. Also, the security guard they have there will ask you for money. He told me that he would watch out for my car, and asked me if I had any money. I told him no, so he stopped me and said "okay when you come back, please bring me something, like a drink". I felt unsafe so I had to give him money, and I know that he is the guy employed by the hotel. He is there to extort the guests not to make them feel safe. Also, the rooms are dirty, old, and the beds are really small. At least the AC was working fine, that's the only thing that worked there apparently. Also, there is a bar nearby. Could be a good thing if you want something to drink at a walking distance, but it's annoying if you want some good night sleep, because of the loud music. The hotel is expensive, not worth a single penny of what it cost. There are much better hotels around in La Ceiba, avoid this one if you can!!
