It is a good hotel, however there are improvements to be made, since there is no hot water, but if it has a sea view, if you only want to spend 1 or 2 days maximum, it is a good idea, but not more than 2 days

Rooms are in very poor condition. Mouldy bathroom. Old stained linen and beds (where there is no linen covering it) it is not a place you ‘want’ to be at any time.

No blankets?

The balcony was pretty nice, the terrace was great, but the room was VERY spartan and dated.. worst of all, NO blankets on the beds! Only 1 thin sheet on the beds, made for a terrible night of sleep. Air conditioning worked great, great location but definitely won’t stay here again

Las personas de recepción todas son mal encaradas y nada amables , las toallas muy percudidas y parecen toallas de cocina , la habitación era para dos personas y solo había una toalla , estacionas tu carro en la calle y solo un sobre de shampoo, lo único conveniente es la cercanía con el centro , pensaría muy bien en regresar, no son nada amigables The people at the reception are all bad-faced and not friendly at all, the towels are very worn and look like kitchen towels, the room was for two people and there was only one towel, you park your car on the street and only one sachet of shampoo, the only convenient thing It is the proximity to the center, I would think very well about returning, they are not friendly at all

Shower doors broken won’t slide, shut good, sheets were always dirty everyday even after changing, balcony’s full of pigeon 💩. Bed hard as a rock may have to see chiropractor coming back home soon! Ran out of toilet paper 👎😒air conditioning was great but blows on face at night put luggage to divert cold air! Nice tv! But definitely keep the tile and change the bed 101 room not horrible but not outstanding, I come from America I expect a nice room with ocean view lol. Gave me street view!;( no ice machine which is normal for Mexico! No food at all, good parking for car! Wouldn’t go back but not the worst I’ve ever seen type deal! Could be better if the clean and fix some stuff. Oh and water was ice cold at 11am one day. That wasn’t fun! Faucet made the loudest noise, but they put on a new one thank god for them!
