We really liked the property. the only complaint we had was charging us for a couple towels with very little stains. never in the 28 years Ive been going to PVR have I been charged for such a small stain( or any stain on a towel). Not appropriate!!!

Great location and staff. The roof, with swimming pools were nice. We were in a 2 bedroom, no windows to physically see outdoors. Small appliances needed cleaning. Couldn’t close one of the bathroom shower door. Needed new bed linens. Old and needed updating.

Suites Plaza del Rio is a great property right smack in the middle of what they call Downtown Puerto Vallarta and Romantic Zone. It's a two block walk from the hotel to the Malecon. There's plenty of shopping around the place. The Suite Plaza isn't a luxuries resort. Nor is it a Motel 6. It's a great place in a great location. It's a family type property. I stayed in a two bedroom two bath suite. It has a kitchen, balcony and living room. The AC is nice and cold. The bathrooms are small. This is my second stay in this hotel. It has a pool, but I never seen or used it. Every time I've stayed, I've always felt what it would be like if it was my own apartment. Yes, that's how it feels. Your own apartment in Puerto Vallarta.

Es un lugar cómodo, está limpio, pero eso de que piden un depósito al llegar no se me hizo tan adecuado, en fin, solo tomar en cuenta al llegar y revisar bien lo que anotan en la lista de lo que según hay en la habitación, ya que en mi caso faltaban cosas pero se las hice ver en cuanto llegue y solo me hicieron la anotación y al salir ya no tuve problemas.
