Good

Let me start by saying that the gentlemen that were there for reception and maintenance were outstanding, professional, helpful and expedient in fixing things that are wrong. This is not a 5 star hotel but it is clean and in an excellent location. We had some trouble with our first room because the ceiling had leaks. The next morning we talked to Brian at reception and he immediately found us another room. You have to realize though that the rainfall at that time was the most they had had in decades. They were up on the roof that afternoon repairing it. The new room we had was perfect. Any time we had a question Brian or Guillermo were right on top of it answering it or helping us. I would highly recommend this hotel. We had A/C, private shower and toilet and the hotel is within a 10 minute walk to numerous restaurants. So you know though there is only cold water showers. Not bad after a hot day though!
Staff is friendly. The hotel is terribly noisy. We had a room with No a/c, the ceiling fan was not strong enough to make a difference, the room was very hot. Hard and noisy bed. We were suppose to stay 3 nights, we stayed 1 and moved to an other place. Greg, one of the staff member was great and understanding, he reimbursed us what he could.
Bathroom was tiny. Very tiny. No hot water which is to be expected here. Hotel was very loud with other guests and security was lacking.
Good for a quick bed on your travels.
Overall daytime was great nighttime too loud at this hostel this site is not advertised as hostel if we had known would not have booked here rooms very small .
