Great location, close to the beach and restaurants. However, the hotel itself needs an urgent upgrade, especially the rooms. We stayed for two nights and it was fine since we mainly needed a place to sleep.

One night was OK for one time.

Great that it is so close to the airport. However it's tricky to find, parking service and walk to entrance even with one small carry on was difficult with steep steps. Counter service was great checking in and checking out. Creepy hallways and I'm a native.

The elevator did not work. 15 years ago when I stayed there it did not work then either. My mother did not come with me at the last minute. She is elderly. Had she come we would have had to go to another hotel. She could not walk up 3 floors. I don’t think they intend to fix the elevator and customers should be warned. The stay would have been fine otherwise.

We wanted to stay near Isla Verde. The hotel is located very close to the airport. However, we discovered cockroaches in our room and we had cold water for a shower. I could’ve dealt with the cold water shower if we didn’t have the cockroaches. Not all the lights in the room worked.

Convenient location walking distance to beach, shops & restaurants. Staff was very accommodating, friendly fast and efficient. Pool area was clean BUT water was very cloudy, room smelled like roach spray, broken floor and wall tiles, paint peeling. Skip the on site restaurant its not all that, go local better flavors and portions. Hopefully the other rooms are better kept and smells better. Overall for a pinch it guess it's ok.
Looks nothing like the online photos, needs to be fixed.

Lobby with water filtrations, poor air conditioning. Very noisy rooms, couldn't sleep well during the stay. Very limited parking spaces in the hotel. Outside the hotel expensive parking. I fell when I tripped on a step in the lobby. The warnings to watch the steps are very poor.
