Este hotel es una muy buen opción tanto en lo económico y en su ubicación. Solo nos hospedamos una noche pero fue agradable. Está un poco anticuado pero solo requeríamos de un lugar donde dormir, bañar, y descansar antes de continuar nuestro viaje. También está justo frente al mar. Solo hay que cruzar la calle y está la playa. Un detalle que me pareció un poco diferente, los empleados en el lobby les piden la llave de la habitación al salir para evitar pérdidas. No hubo ningún problema.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
La habitación estába muuuuy sucia, con cucarachas, el lavabo del baño con moho y una tapa de pasta dental incrustada de hongo que salía al abrir la llave ya que estaba tapado también, en cuestión estacionamiento, llame a la propiedad para asegurar que tuvieran a lo que me dijeron que si y realmente no tenían uno de los días que estuve ahí se llenó y al comentarle a la señorita me dijo que no sabía de que parte del país iba pero que ahí no había robos de vehículos o autopartes, lo cual me parece grosero de su parte. La ubicación es muy buena en realidad. Ojalá arreglaran la instalación del aire acondicionado además de ser un equipo viejo y oxidado que hace demasiado ruido, hay un agujero en la pared mal hecho con un par de maderas por dónde se meten las cucarachas.
