My family and I took a trip to Trujillo and we had an amazing time, most of it because of this hotel and their knowledgeable staff. This hotel is the epitome of a family business, the owner (Señora Margarita) is often the receptionist, her son is the bellman, and the cousin is the cab and chauffeur driver. The hotel itself is a bit far from the airport, however, if you call ahead the staff will arrange a vehicle to pick you up (for a small fee).
The staff is extremely helpful and the owner will go out of her way to make sure that you are comfortable, always introduce yourself to her and compliment the positive comments that you have read on TripAdvisor, she takes big pride of it.
In terms of the rooms, keep in mind that many hotels in Peru do not have elevators so if you have issues climbing up 4 levels of stairs perhaps your should mention that you desire one of the rooms by the common area, which by the way, may be a little noisy as people tend to gather around here while they wait on their tour guides and breakfast.
The hotel works with Moche Tours, which is a very good tour company and their prices are very competitive, so it's a definitely go ahead with this touring company as well.
All around, the hotel itself is basic and unpretentious, but the price and the willingness of the staff to make sure that you have a good time is by far worth the stay.
Feel free to write me if you have any questions!
