I picked hotel La Gran Francia because it looked like an historic hotel near the central plaza. It was. However, on the first night, the hotel sent us to a property they own down the road that is much newer called La Rouge. So if you actually want to stay in La Gran Francia, book a deluxe room rather than a King room. On the second night, I requested a move, which they granted after some discussion. La Gran Francia had a lot more character than La Rouge, and we really took advantage of the nice dipping pool at La Gran Francia. On the other hand, the bed at La Rouge was more comfortable. Across the way from La Gran Francia, they serve breakfast. It was usually fresh fruit, fresh fruit juice, scrambled eggs, bread, and a rice and bean mixture (a Nicaraguan staple). It was convenient, and the courtyard in which they serve it is very pretty. Are there little things the hotel could improve upon? Well of course, but this is Nicaragua not England or the U.S. Granada is a beautiful town, and we enjoyed our stay in Granada and at the hotel. The air conditioner worked really well.
