Great location,but do need some improvement！

First,what I booked was the penthouse, but when I arrived, the front desk told me it was not available. Later they explained because the credit system of Expedia did go into the hotels. The staff tried so hard to show me around to find a satisfying alternative. Even though a little bit disappointed, I could live up with the room the suggested. Second, the hot water could really be a issue, only in a certain time in the morning, I could use the hot water, the rest of the day, there was only water.

Good location but poor Hotel

The town is great and that is why this hotel was selected. It is in the heart of it all. The hotel is in need of upgrading and a good scrubbing. The pool area toilets were so bad it made me sick to go in them and I had to go to the desk for help. They did nothing.

Hotel agradable, en buena zona, centrica y accesib

Excelente atención y seguro. El hotel hotel está ubicado en un zona muy turistica, cerca de restaurantes, de la playa del pueblo, de noche hay mucha vida, con muchos negocios de artesanias abiertos. Ahora mismo el hotel se encuentra en remodelación lo que hace que se vea un poco sucio y desordenado pero la atención es tan buena que eso se puede obviar. La piscina está bastante limpia. Lo que no me gusto fueron las palomas (las aves) que se la pasan sobre volando la zona de la piscina y dejan caer sus heces al agua y a los alrededores...

Good location & friendly staff

We stayed here for 4 nights as part of a longer trip around Mexico. We arrived in the early hours of the morning on the day we were supposed to check in. Although the system couldn't officially check us, in as it was so early, we were still able to use our room even though we had at that point not even paid anything! This was a real bonus. We found the staff very friendly and helpful but they are not multilingual as advertised and you need to speak Spanish. We stayed in the Penthouse Suite which is a slightly overrated description! It is indeed at the top of the building, has a large terrace and great views over the bay but the room has seen better days & could do with updating. The 31inch plasma TV (as advertised) was ancient & we didn't even bother to switch it on, there is no wifi in the room (as advertised) at all & when we asked about internet we were directed to a bench on the first floor next to a pile of laundry as this was supposedly the best wifi spot!! We had no hot water a couple of times as someone seemed to keep turning it off but, when switched on, the water was very hot & the shower a good pressure. The location is very Central and only a 5 minute walk to the beach but this brings with it the inevitable techno music blaring out every night until 6am from various nearby bars. Overall this hotel has seen better days and is overpriced for the amenities and condition of the rooms.

Nice staff, but lots of noise.

I just spent one week here and chose this hotel because of its convenient location in Zihuatanejo Centro. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly, but unfortunately much is out of their control. Party goers within the hotel and outside the hotel routinely make noise until very early in the morning making nighttime sleep almost impossible. The hotel is old and internet was sporadic at best making work and emails very difficult. I wish I could rate it higher, but the noise factor within the hotel of partying guests prevents me from doing so.

Ok hotel is for Downtown Zihuatanejo

This hotel is pretty much a common type of an older Mexican, downtown hotel that has seen better days. It's fine if you're just looking for a place to park your luggage and get a few hours of sleep. The huge advantage is the location for exploring central Zihuatanejo and a very close walk to the beach. Don't expect the restaurant to be open except for weekends - maybe. Services such as making collect calls to the USA are out of the question - they simply cannot be done. The hot water is questionable at best. Bed comfort is okay, but certainly not the best. They do strive to make sure the air conditioning works good and do the utmost to keep things as clean as possible. Everything else in the room (phone, TV, lights, etc.) and hotel seemed to work as expected. I was told by some locals that this is one of the best hotels in the downtown area, so I made the best of it. The staff did go out of their way to fix problems I encountered with the air and water, they also gave very good info on where to eat and visit in the area. Very nice and very helpful people - however it pays to know the language! I would recommend it for the price they charge, however I don't think I will return to this hotel.
