Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
I didn’t have the chance to see the pool, but I was told it was nice. The hotel is quite simple and could be made more attractive. There are other nearby options at a similar price that feel more welcoming. The parking area was dirty, and although the room was okay, there was no hot water. What stood out the most was the cleanliness of the sheets and towels — they were spotless. Overall, there’s definitely room for improvement.

I wouldn’t give a single star. This is the most disgusting hotel. We left after 5 minutes. I know I lost all my money on this hotel! I booked it for its affordability, in the property pictures it looks clean and nice! The walls were peeling off rhe rooms look like prison cells! Absolutely disgusting, no elevator and NO HELP AT ALL

Spacious and quiet room. I did not have any interaction with the staff other than the person at the reception who was not that helpful during the check in process. I have to say that the cleaning staff was very efficient providing clean towels everyday, I thank them for being nice even though I didn't meet them.

Liked: Cleanliness
The website said that there were smoking areas, but there were not any. The description said that no pets were allowed yet multiple nights we were kept awake by a dog that barked nonstop. No English was spoken by any of the staff; thankfully, I speak Spanish. The water pressure was not great and hot water was not readily available. If you’re looking for a place to sleep that is clean and comfortable in city center without a bunch of accommodations or American luxuries, you will be fine. The staff was kind and helpful. The room was clean. The beds were comfortable and the room had air-conditioning. We could not get the TV to work, but they did have Wi-Fi and good cell service. Overall, I would stay at the property again and pray, no one brought an annoying dog!

It’s a fairly cheap place, so what you’re not paying for is cleanliness. The hotel is quite dirty and old, with mold everywhere; the hot shower works only when it feels like it and barely has any water pressure, etc. Again, that’s the price you pay for saving money. If you’re okay with that, go ahead. I’m only writing this so you can make an informed decision and not be surprised when you arrive.
