It was very nice. It was clean. It was quiet, but I think the two restaurants are misleading because basically the same restaurant with two names. The pool had no sun too close to the restaurant tables. I was an unhappy, but I thought that it would be different than it was But now that I know about it, I would stay there again, knowing how I needed to play my trip.

This was more than we expected with a wonderful location only a few meters from the Malecon with everything one could need an easy walk away. The facility is a little tired as it was built in 1958 but a great example of true Mexico. The staff were wonderful with a very good restaurant on site that also was excellent. We will definitely recommend as we were surprised at how quiet our room was on the side street. Front facing rooms would be noisy. We would certainly come again if we needed a short term place to stay in PV. Thanks to all that made this a pleasant surprise.

What a great spot to find. Dog friendly, clean, and safe. Quick walk to ZR. Insider tip, ask for a room away from the main road. Also, be aware you can’t leave your dog in the room. Overall, this doesn’t take away from my trip.

Great staff, great location, great bar and restaurant. It is a 3 Star hotel so not perfect. I would like to see more and better towels. Also, freezer compartment in the refrigerator would be a bonus. We will come back here and I would recommend this to my friends.
