Very Good

The staff were incredibly helpful and nice. However the beds and the overall condition of the hotel was not great. The area it’s amazing though everything in downtown is at a walking distance.
Staff was awesome very respectful and kind. Great location many restaurants and stores, and the Cathedral are in walking distance. The only downside is the WIFI it wouldn’t connect. Other than that I felt safe, I was coming from Michoacan and it was a good to stay to rest for only one night before going to the airport the next morning.

Great hotel in excellent location. My only complaint was i was a bit down a hall and my wifi signal did not work half of the time, so make sure you request a room with good signal.
The hotel was conveniently located and among the best priced in the downtown area. We obtained an upgraded spacious room with king beds when our room was not ready upon arrival. The shower water was hot.

Rooms given were so out of service. Toilet would not flush and bathroom was really small. Could not sleep because of construction. We didget another room which was great. All you would need is to check if everything functions.

Friendly people good buffet breakfast for $7.50 each. The walls and windows are thin so you hear noises outside but did not bother me much. Needs some fixing which looks like they started to do on the 7th floor. Wood stay again since great location.
Area was good distance from main road therefore quiet to sleep.
Restrooms had mold, water came out from the shower and tile was falling off.
A refrigerator would have been convenient.
The hotel is conveniently located near the central plazas and the shopping area east of Independencia Sur. The cost of the hotel compares favorably with other hotels in the area.
It would have been nice if there were more amenities, such as a coffee maker and iron in the room. A fitness center would be a big plus too. The room was pretty clean, but there was a little mold near the ceiling of the shower.
I stay in budget hotels. I only need a bed and hot shower. $50 is my upper limit and there are plenty in GDL at that price and they are acceptable for me. This one was under $40. Well, I guess I found my lower limit because I wouldn’t return here.
