They are hosting the mexican police there for months they have about 15 trucks parked and meetings blocking the parking lot. They start getting up at 5- 6am making alot of noise comings up and down the rooms like its a boot camp. Couldn't sleep at all.. hated it there will never go back.
Heat worked fine, if you are looking for an affordable option this place might be a good choice.

Hair on the pillows of never been changed since the 70s I’m guessing could feel every spring on the mattress probably from an earlier era…however the water pressure was great

The only negatives were that we couldn’t get a room on the second floor. My wife has mobility issues and they couldn’t accommodate our request so it was difficult for her to go up and down the stairs. Also our room did not have working lights in the room (ie table/pole lamp. We would still stay here again because of the atmosphere and staff.
I almost didn’t book after reading some of the other reviews, but glad I did. This exceeded my expectations. It is weathered, but has character. Old, but clean. I felt very comfortable and safe. Easy walk to the beach. Everyone is super friendly. Great value for the price.
It could be a wonderful place. Needs work. Everything is old and wore. Beds hard, pillows super thin but clean. Bathroom towels were super worn. Pool nice but plaster missing but clean. Restaurant doesn’t open until 9 if even then. Dirt roads. Cools to beach.
The place was well maintained for its age. Staff was friendly and house keeping did a good job. The surprising thing was the restaurant bar was an American Legion Post 15. Service was exceptional but they only take cash no credit cards. Dollars or pesos accepted.
I loved the front desk staff, my husband’s truck broke down and the guy at the front desk went above and beyond to help us, I forgot to ask his name but he worked the morning shift on 06/21/25 The lady who checked us in was very friendly too.
