Best Western Plus Hotel Terraza is a mid-range hotel on 85 Avenida Sur in Colonia Escalón, one of the more pleasant residential and dining districts of San Salvador. It is classed as a three-star property and includes breakfast in the rate, which is a real saving in a city where breakfast is often extra. Facilities include an outdoor pool with loungers, the La Veranda restaurant, a coffee shop, a bar, free Wi-Fi in the rooms, air conditioning and a 24-hour front desk. Rooms range from standard king or double rooms to executive rooms and suites with more space. The Monumento al Salvador del Mundo is about three minutes away by car, Plaza Futura around a twelve-minute walk, and cafes and casual restaurants sit a few minutes on foot from the door.
Location and getting around
Escalón is a calmer area than the historic centre and has plenty of places to eat within a short walk, including cafes and casual restaurants. The Salvador del Mundo monument is a three-minute drive, and the Museum of Art of El Salvador is a longer walk or a short ride. The big malls, Multiplaza and Metrocentro, are within a few kilometres. The airport is about 45 to 50 minutes away by road, and the hotel does not list an airport shuttle, so arrange a private transfer in advance.
The rooms
Standard rooms are compact, at roughly 215 square feet, while suites are around 431 square feet and sleep up to four. Choose a king for couples or two double beds for friends and families. Executive rooms add comforts. Rooms are straightforward and clean rather than luxurious.
Who it suits
Travellers who value a free breakfast and a pool without paying five-star prices, couples on a budget and families who want a suite. It is a sensible base for day tours, which collect from Escalón.
Good to know
Parking spots are limited, so ask when booking. There is no gym or spa listed, so look elsewhere if you want those. The pool is open during the day until evening. Breakfast is included, which also helps with early tour departures.
