A Decent Little hotel for a short stay, cheap enough, good staff, clean, & reasonably quiet. The only downside was the shower had no pressure & was just dribbling out & the Location is not the best as it’s on the edge of a sketchy area.

The area isn't Disneyland, but it is safe. The hotel and service are a gem, especially for the price. I compliment every person we have been in contact with; they are very nice and helpful. Quiet, clean. Recommended, for sure

It's a 2 Star hotel, so nothing is deluxe. But, it's clean, efficient, comfortable, and convenient. The area in the daytime is full of local commerce and traffic, but after the ships closed, it's so quiet! The streets are almost empty. The hotel is in a side alley, so it's quiet. It's about a 15 minute walk to the very center of the city. Along the way, there are lots of shops and great restaurants. And the 3 main markets.

Heidi

Disliked: Cleanliness
The good: Our room was big and quite nice, with a small sofa and a desk. The location isn't the most amazing but easy to walk into town from here and a good convenience store nearby. The bad: the bathroom smelled really bad and the door wouldn't stay closed unless locked from the inside, so our room smelled. The shower flooded the entire bathroom and the floors were not cleaned properly. Only one usable power socket in the room. Tiny, uncomfortable pillows.

Joke and not a hotel

This hotel is a joke and not a hotel. Bathroom did not have a proper door, you could see someone in the toiled from the room! We were in 3 and asked for second key. They said they do not have it to give us but they have the second key for them to open door if we loose our and they said that if we need they can use it to open door for us. One of us came earlier and didn’t have a key and guess what? THEY DIDNT HAVE IT so she needed to wait 2h as we come back. That is also only hotel in the Mexico that we visited without purified water to use
