After our cruise ended in Manaus, we looked for a hotel near the airport to spend two nights before our 3 AM flight to Panama City. The Tryp seemed to fit our needs since it was close to the airport. Upon “check-in,” we hit a few minor issues. Others checking into the hotel received a bottle of water, we were told the water was available in our room, but they didn’t say it was at a cost. We asked about a shuttle to the airport and were told we would need to take a taxi, yet we saw a TRYP-marked van take two trips to the airport. Perhaps it was our flight time that made the difference. Once we got into the room, we found a coffee maker, but the K-cups would be charged to our room – no kettle… The K-cup machine had a leak.
The biggest issue in our room was the shower: when wet, the shower floor is very slick. We needed to stay on the plastic floor mat or risk slipping in the shower. Also, there is a step down into the bathroom. Need to be careful in the middle of the night: remember to step down into the bathroom. There was no night light in the bathroom.
The room did have a nice size safe and a comfortable king-sized bed, but the pillows were not very comfortable. We had difficulty adjusting the room temperature: it was either too hot or too cold in the room.
The restaurant and bar are in the same building but are managed separately and you cannot charge meals to your room – the payment is made directly to the restaurant.
