Our Room:
Room #27 at Mirador del Lago II is the absolute best room available at the hotel. If at all possible, get this room. It is on third floor, with a lake view, and a small balcony. In addition, there is a tile-top table and chairs just outside the room, also with a fantastic lake view. As far as we could tell, ours was the only room in the building with the view. The room below us on second floor would have its view blocked by the buildings across the street. I had thought that our room would be more expensive because of the view, but all the rooms were the same price. This room was great for sunrise views as well. And very clean.

Private or Shared Bath?
Private bath, warm shower, towels provided. The bathroom was a bit well-worn, but clean.

The Atmosphere:
The desk staff were all friendly, but not overly so. There was not really a common area for travelers to hang out at, which made it more difficult to meet people, although I did strike up some conversations in the "hallways" which were actually sort of open-air walkways.

Food and Other Amenities: There are plenty of restaurants nearby, including one in the main part of the hotel across the street. Cold beverages are available in the lobby. Laundry service is available. Some travel agency services available.

Location: Calle Union, on east side of island. The island is small, so all hotels seem to have an equally good location. This hotel is on the outermost street of the island, but is not on the lake side. The original Mirador del Lago is across the street on the lake side, but the rooms seemed dirtier and cost more. Plus our view in room #27 was better than the rooms we were shown on the lake side.

Security:
We were on third floor, and there were constantly cleaning staff around, so we felt the hotel was fairly secure.

Price:
80 quetzales (US$10 per night, double occupancy). I was curious if maybe we were paying more for our room because it was by far the best view and best room in the whole place, but in chatting with some other guests, I discovered that the price of our room was the same as the others.

Other notes:
The main part of the Mirador del Lago hotel, on the lake side of the street, had slightly more expensive rooms. The rooms we saw did not have lake views, and we far older and didn’t look as clean as our room at Mirador del Lago II. Ask to see rooms in each of the parts of the hotel, which the clerk will be happy to do for you, before deciding.
