Just average
The hotel’s patio is nice. The pool is a plus and the terraza has beautiful views. The location was good. The rooms are not as nice as outside, just average. We had problems with the bathrooms, clogged, the room I reserved was not available and did not even exist, No toilet paper or soap, we had to keep asking for it, and the sheets on the bed were dirty. Other than that it was ok.

Magnificent location. Beautiful property. So convenient. Pool was romantically enchanting. Restaurant was wonderful. So popular too. One of two in only a few blocks walk. Lively setting and kind staff. The building is homey and with an Hacienda setting.

Great stay over all! Friendly staff, hotel and restaurant. Clean, comfortable bed, great a/c, really nice rooftop pool and excellent happy hour, drinks and food. Only reason for less than excellent reviews were really hard pillows, no soap the first night, really worn towels and the toilet flusher was wonky - you had to alternate low flow and high flow every time. Great location - we will definitely stay there again!

Great little hotel
Great location. Acceptable rooms for the price. Pool on roof is nice, as is the restaurant. Wifi was not good - everyone is sitting in the lobby trying to connect; connection from rooms virtually nothing. Staff are friendly. Lots of restaurants nearby and 2 minute walk to the Malecon/ocean.

Second stay in 2024. First stay was given 2 twin beds… this trip reserved one double. Was given two twins again. The hotel says they have WIFI… it just isn’t true! If you sit in the lobby you can get it. Anywhere else on property, good luck! My TV didn’t work more than 3 minutes before “Lost Signal” appears. The hotel is very basic and I knew it… but basic services that are listed need to really be provided.

Our room was very basic. The room with the WC was difficult to get in to. The WC and shower doors did not close. No window in room. The wardrobe had a offensive off gassing smell. No hooks for towels.

This place is absolutely fine if you read the description of the hotel and look at the rooms online before you book without doing your homework. I laugh at how outrageous some of the other reviews are written from a point of dissatisfaction. This is an affordable motel with the property and amenities matching the price you pay. It was good for my budget friendly vacation. The staff was very hospitable and nice and accommodated many things when we politely asked them without expectations of them complying. Bottom line, great place to stay for budget concerned people: DO YOUR HOMEWORK BEFORE YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS PLACE!!! Beautiful pool and deck, beautiful atrium, delicious food from onsite restaurant.

I liked this hotel because i was close to alot of things and experienced mexico on a more personal level. Beds are not comfortable but i didn't spend alot of time in my room..pool on roof top was nice but it is small. If you have expecations of alot of things try an all inclusive resort where they can offer these things to you. The staff were very nice to me, helped me when i asked for anything and were respectful of the things i kept in my room. It can be a little noisy so if your a light sleeper i would suggest downloading a sleep app to drown out the noises outside. I would stay here again but in a room with a double bed rather than 2 twin beds. Restaurant/bar by the pool serves great food and drinks and has a nice view.. i would say this is for open minded people..

Worst hotel I've ever stayed in
Would never stay there ever again. Rooms overpriced for the condition. No security lock on door, paid for a room,but was given a lesser room but they still charged the same price. Hated every minute there.
