Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
We were given what seemed to be a newly remodeled room. It was larger than other rooms, it had a kitchenette and fridge. The bathroom and bed were very nice for a low budget hotel. The service was good. I would have prefered healthier breakfast choices next to “pastechi, empanada, arepa”.
But they were delicious! There was the option of toast with eggs.
Photos do not show accurate presentation of hotel plus location is not in good area nor close to beach. We did not check in and scrambled to find other accommodations. Our taxi driver was most helpful.

It was good, dont expect too much but staff was good and room had AC all day and night.
The hotel is just ok. But fairly good location. Supermarket next door and only 5 blocks away from the main area. Good wi fi.
It’s great for a low budget gateway.
This hotel was unbelievably terrible it shouldn’t be called a hotel. There was not hot water, no amenities, and no hospitality. The copper pipes were exposed and the room was cramped and cold. Expedia should take the listing down off their site.
