Reviews of Hotel Mac Arthur 2 stars

Near the old town but not recommended to walk around after dark. They have a nice swimming pool and it is a nice place in this part of the town

hot water was not working in the shower

In spite of being so close to the old town, the noise levels at night were very mild. The clerk helped me with my 3:30 AM taxi in spite or maybe because of my unacceptable Spanish even though they don't advertise this service. She tried several companies until she found one who would come that early.

There is no AC. The fan was a very good one and the room did not heat up at night. I had gotten sick in Nicaragua, had a miserable stomach, and was especially sensitive to this at the time, so not the hotels fault, necessarily.

The hotel was a reasonable value. The breakfast was very good, my room was clean, and the front desk personnel were nice and helpful. Not much English was spoken, but they were patient with my Spanish. I liked the short walk to the center, and it was convenient to have a supermercado within about three blocks.

Hanging space for clothes was tiny, there is no flat surface in the bathroom for toiletries, and, while there was a decent desk, there were no electrical outlets near it. My biggest complaint was noise -- especially the barking dogs during the day and frequently at night.

The check in

Just one outlet

Number one thing about this hotel is it's a very clean hotel! We even kept food in the room and still never saw one bug. For a hotel in Honduras, that's impressive. Me, my husband, and three little ones loved it. This is a very family-friendly hotel with a lot of open spaces around the lobby and courtyard, and has a very nice pool with a place to change right next to it. Misson groups or a large families would love this. There's so much space in the lobby or courtyard to sit and talk and eat together. You can buy snacks and drinks anytime at the front desk. There's a microwave in the lobby as well you can use. Breakfast was decent. Rooms clean and everything worked (they have a lot of electrical sockets around the room. Better than what I've had in American hotels). I think it's only stairs to the rooms, but I didn't check if there was an elevator somewhere out of view. We were on the second floor more toward the middle of the building which made the wifi strong in our room and made the city noise less. We didn't have air conditioning but the room still stayed cool with open windows and a fan. They provided laundry service at a very affordable price. The location was great for exploring. We only went out in the morning and early afternoon, and it felt pretty safe the whole time. For the price, I think this place is great and will stay here again if I have to be in Teguc overnight. I plan on endorsing it to my family and friends if they ever need a place in Teguc. And also, we unexpectedly had to stay longer so we tried a different room closer to the road that had a tiny balcony. It was more spacious and part of the view from the balcony was pretty showing the top of a historical church. Being closer to the road, city noise was a lot louder and the wifi was weaker. Noise doesn't bother my family at all, but the wifi being weaker was a bit of a bummer. Also, this room did have air conditioning but you really need it.

The beds were average and the pillows were ok but I'm glad I brought my own pillow. Breakfast was cold a couple of times so I used the microwave in the lobby to warm it up. I still enjoyed it. Sometimes you have to run the shower water for awhile to get it hot. And again, if you get a room right up against the main road, the city noise will be louder and the wifi may be weaker.
