It was cheap to stay, buy i stayed 5 day and 4 nights, but staff didn't clean the room during stay. They were unfriendly, and wifi is really bad. Hotel is located in downtown. However, I will pay extra money to stay in a better hotel.
This hotel is ok if you are trying to stick with a budget and location was good as near to Ado station and Mercado 28 but you must be prepared for neighbours having a party next door, incredibly loud and old air conditioning units (although they do cool down, but only have an off and on switch that we could see), the toilet seat not being attached, and terrible wifi. The cleaning was acceptable but a dead mosquito and hair was still left in the shower, and under the bed was filthy!
Lastly they look the doors at night to the entrance and you need to ring a bell to get in. We were woken up during the night to someone ringing the bell for about 10 minutes as quite clearly the receptionist had fallen asleep.
Had family business. I am quite amazed how centrally located this hotel is. Every time we went looking for something we found it within a few blocks up to 5 minutes. No exceptions! Restaurants and tourist items. Convenience stores. Banks. Peso/dollar change. Pharmacy. All in the same block. They have locked gated parking. They knock on ur door for wakeup calls. Been before...will be back. No pool. No vending. No refrig or microwave. But at $25...you can't beat it.

The staff is really friendly and helpful, the room was clean and comfortable.
Hotel Tankah is a great value for staying in downtown Cancun. The room was clean and safe. It is about a 10 minute walk to the ADO bustop with bags. On check in the front desk was deserted. It took me 15 minutes to scrounge up someont to check me in. If you don't mind hiccups like that, Tankah is fine for those passing through.

OK for a night in transit
Taciturn front desk had no record of my reservation. I got an adequate room: economical, clean & safe.
A bit of a hoof from Av Tulum/ADO:15mins with bags. If you stay get a room in back for quiet.
Everything about the hotel itself was really nice. The staff were really friendly and helpful, the room was spacious, the a/c kept the room nice and cool. It's right across the street from a huge market with tons of great food and shopping and the WalMart and bus stop are only about a 10 minute walk. The only negative thing about my stay here was that one night when I came back from the beach there were (no exaggeration) about 50 federal police officers with heavy machine guns in the lobby and outside the front door. They were moving equipment from one of the rooms out to their vehicles until about 3am and it made a lot or noise so i didn't get much sleep. The hotel staff didn't seem to have much to say about it either so it left me a little confused. Otherwise, it was a really nice hotel.

Basic hotel downtown.
Rustic, basic but clean. Good location if you want to stay downtown. Have stayed in better hotels in mexico for less but maybe this is what you get here. Nothing unpleasant but aircon very noisy, feels quite dark, Windows but can't see out. Having said that it's clean and fuctional, not for hanging out in but if you just using it to sleep it's o.k..

Basic Room For a Night
I stayed here overnight to catch a connecting flight the following day. The hotel is right across the street from Mercado 28, which is an ok place to look at touristy trinkets, or get a quick bite. Not far from bus station and El Centro, and close to some inexpensive restaurants. Its cheap, old, beds are semi comfortable, room smells a little musty, biut relatively clean. A/C worked well, but showers were tepid at best. I would say good for a night or two at most. Other better options for same or a little more money. But it's an acceptable option.
Pésimo, el lugar mal cuidado, l atención horrible, mala actitud de los empleados, habitaciones en mal estado, ni siquiera tiene la cordialidad de abrirte el estacionamiento te tienes que bajar tu mismo a abrirte y cerrarte el portón!
