We will certainly stay here again. The only drawback was occasional street noise from being so close to the road, but I was able to manage it. The location is fantastic, with everything within walking distance.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Upon my arrival at the hotel, I was informed that my reservation was not registered in their system. Unfortunately, the front desk staff was unable to assist me, as they only had access to reservations made through Expedia.com, not Hotels.com. The hotel was fully booked, so I was unable to stay there that night. Additionally, I was told that they do not offer refunds. I am now seeking assistance to recover the payment for a service I did not receive. To make matters worse, my phone died while I was at the hotel, and I was unable to charge it because the power outlets in the waiting area were not functioning.

Luisa

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
At first the room looks very clean but when I got in bed I felt like I got bit, so I slept on top of the bed covers instead. There is no air conditioning, so slept with windows open. We had continuous noise throughout the night. People yelling announcing tamales for sale as well as continuous noise from the buses, sunce the bus station is kitty corner to the hotel. There is only one electrical socket, so if you have more than one item that needs charging, you can request an extension cord. The hotel only provides a couple of bars of soap and a couple of water bottles but that's it. Hopefully you take some shampoo and conditioner with you. The towels and bed covers are very rough to the touch. They must not use fabric softener. The Wifi is very scetchie. Your lucky if it works. I really would not recommend this hotel at all.

Me agradó lo accesible, limpio y cómodo, estoy bastante satisfecha para el precio que se paga. Es muy conveniente si viajas en transporte público aunque no tanto si viajas en automovil. La zona se sentía un poco insegura por las noches, pero no hubo ningún incidente durante nuestra estancia. La recepción estuvo atendida todo el tiempo y aunque hay que entregar y solicitar la llave con cada salida e ingreso, no tuvimos ningún problema con entrar y salir en varias ocasiones. Fue una estancia bastante agradable

Pues alrededor del hotel muchos negocios pero no todos eran para consumir alimentos, principalmente negocios de papelería. Es necesario cambiar las ventanas que dan a la calle de las habitaciones ya que se pasa mucho ruido. Hay canceles especiales que no dejan pasar nada de ruido.Fortalecer el manejo de las llaves de los cuartos porque es fácil pedir una habitación sin que la recepción verifique si es realmente el huésped. Al menos eso yo sentí. Hay tarjetas magnéticas que solo la porta exclusivamente el huésped y tiene acceso al ascensor y a las habitaciones sino nadie puede accesar.
