Novo is Green01 on the San Salvador Map

The address info above is how it's written on the web page. More simply, it's at the end of 61 Norte, about a couple blocks north of Roosevelt. If you look on the map, you'll see Escalon is more to the west past a diamond-shaped traffic intersection. Most but not all of the cab drivers knew where the Novo was.

I enjoyed staying here. The room was nice, the breakfast buffet was good, the service was pleasant, the hotel was guest-friendly, and the price was right. The only drawback was the location. It's conveniently located near Capricho and Bird Nest, but everything else is a hike or a cab ride. A couple private cabs hang out in front during the day and early evening (include a semi-famous hobbyist-runner named Tato), but cabs can be hard to come across in this and many other areas later in the evening. If staying here, grabbing taxi numbers is highly recommended.

Another perk was free wireless internet access. Based on the web page I'm not certain if this is still free, but it was during my stay.

If I recall correctly I paid about $50 USD per night. If you don't mind paying double that (again if I recall correctly) the Hotel Real Inter Continental is in a much better location directly across from the Metrocenter Mall, but I can't comment directly on anyting else there.

The taxista from Hotel Novo was waiting for me and we took a 40 minute ride from the airport to the hotel.
...
The rooms were mini apartments with a kitchen mini bar eating area mini living room and bedroom with flat screen television and patio over looking the pool. My room was about $70.00 per night but they had larger rooms also. The restaurant was good serving the typical meals and local dishes averaging $10.00 -$15.00 a plate. They also had room service that I did not use. I would highlyrecommend this hotel because the staff was excellent the only complaint I had was the mosquito that annoyed me when I was trying to sleep and I was unsuccessful in destroying.
