We stayed for an MMA event at the convention center. Our room was clean and the bed and pillows were very comfortable. We appreciated the water and coffee in the lobby. Great value and an excellent choice if you’re attending an event nearby.

It's a pretty run down capital city, but the country itself is a tropical treasure.

There are lots of interesting things to see in the Managua area which I have visited in the past. At present,(2020) it is not safe to move around the country because of the coronavirus and political concerns. Don't give up on this beautiful country

We did not stay in the town but for the night. We had a guy take us around the town and to the masaya volcano. After driving around the town, I am very glad that we didn’t spend more time there.

Its a great place with rich culture, but like any big city it has its downfalls. Be smart, be aware, and try to travel in groups.

There should be a lot more information about the city and the country. It's a nice city and the country is absolutely beautiful. If you want more tourism you'll have sell yourself in a better way.
