This hotel is not far off the Pan American in a nice little section of Ica. It is on a cul-de-sac so there was no sound from the street during night. The staff was courteous and the pool nice. Breakfast is included. We stayed in the "familiar" which sleeps 6, and were pleasantly surprised that it was basically a suite and included two bathrooms.

We selected this hotel based on price and reviews. We knew when we booked this the hotel was in a very quiet area I did not realize just how far out it was.

The check in process was very odd nothing was explained to us at all we had our fingerprints taken and copies of our passports and handed the room key. That was it.

Once in the room we realized how basic it was, no air con, no fridge all the paperwork we received was advising is we could not drink in our room only at the bar or restaurants

The bar was non existent and I saw a cat walk into the restaurant.

We walked into town to find some food ( a 5k walk )

The next day we attempt to use the pool, no luck there was a ballet concert so it was not really appropriate.

This hotel was a let down, the room was a bit dated holes in the sheets and no real water pressure, to get the hot water on you need to turn on the basin taps on stand on one foot and hope for the best.

We stayed here three nights our room was only cleaned once, I couldn't be bothered asking for it to be cleaned on the Sunday as the front counter staff although friendly did not seem so approachable, this could be me not speaking Spanish. But when I asked for a map so I knew where I was and the response was no it was all a bit to hard.

Our room came with breakfast, we did not know this as we were never told, it did say this in our reservation but as we much have missed it, this was also never told to us on check in or throughout our stay. After seeing the cat enter the kitchen I don't mind I missed out.

Overall if you want to lock yourself in a hot room with no air con it's a great hotel.

If you want a hotel with a little atmosphere I would not recommend this.
