My first experience with this Hotel was in January, 2002. In this year I've stayed at the Continetal 6 to 7 times. I found the hotel to provide all the basics for the right price. It has a restuarant with a simple menu, a bar well stocked, a pool not used by many - mostly occupied by business people. Rooms are average(double beds only) but clean, AC is good, TV, room service is good. If you are looking for an inexpensive Hotel in the center of the city -near everything - this is the place. It has parking and its only two blocks from the Malecon and 5 minutes or less from one of the main Avenues (27 de Febrero). The big hotels with Casinos are a short 5 minute drive away or less. Getting a Taxi is not a problem there is always one parked at the Hotel. The personnel speaks english well and are friendly. Its rated 3 stars I say 1.5-2.
