Okay, some answers to the questions about Hotel Plaza Mayor.

Yes, there is an elevator, though you have to walk up about five steps from the reception desk to get to it.

The air-conditioning is very good. I could make my room as cold as meat locker if I wanted to.

My windows open, but there´s not really a balcony.

Most rooms have lock boxes, but some of the singles do not. Mine, for example, doesn´t.

I feel very safe in my immediate surroundings. The Plaza Santa Cruz is VERY well-lit and with the proximity to the Plaza Mayor there are always tons of people around.

Judy, unfortunately they don´t have any triples.

Keep those questions coming--I´m happy to answer them!
