That statement is way off the mark. When traveling and I have a choice of an Embassy Suite or a Hyatt, I choose the Embassy Suite. But, I certainly know the Hyatt is the better of the two hotels. I just don't need the best for an additional $150/night.
That is why, without qualifying your answers, this was a senseless question.

Under such assumption, the Embassy Suites was the best choice for you, thus the best hotel in your opinion.

If it was good enough for you make the decision to stay there, then where is the problem?

The Hyatt may be more upscale or of better quality, but it was not good enough for you to choose the Hyatt over the Embassy suites - whether the pricing at the Hyatt was not to your liking or its location or whatever, that is enough to make you choose the Embassy over the Hyatt, thus Hyatt is not the best of the two FOR YOU. The Embassy suites suited your needs/desires much better (this includes pricing) than the Hyatt, thus Embassy Suites is the best hotel of the two for you.

Otherwise, you would have chosen the Hyatt, no?

NO, if you're paying my bill then I consider the Hyatt a much better hotel. Your question probably should have been "Which hotel on the Malecon do you recommend". That allows the person tho answer using whatever criteria he choses, not simply which is "best".

You are correct.

The only thing is that most of the people who come to this website asking for recommendations on lodgings always ask which is the best hotel of such and such place.

The word best means different things to different people.

They will choose their answers based on their own criteria of what is best, which should reflect the place they will most likely stay in if they chose the malecon area for their lodging options.

Here are several definitions of the word "best" according to dictionary.com. These are things people consider when choosing the best hotel for their needs/desires while visting a place:

-Having the qualities that are desirable or distinguishing in a particular thing

-Serving the desired purpose or end; suitable

-In excellent condition

-Most satisfactory, suitable, or useful;
