Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
There was no hot water this time. Other times there was so am not sure what that was about.
Convienient location right next to the bus depot
I will recommended this hotel. Close everything and easy to move to other city.
The staff was always helping.
Clean and the pool was very nice, specially for the family.
The bus station from the airport only goes to the one on 5th avenue going back to the airport it's the one very close. The room was ok but only air conditioning in the bedroom if you have the suite. Our tv had to be changed as it didn't work. The pressure in the shower ok for Mexico but not great we had hot water. Didn't see any bugs... getting in the elevator is like walking in to an oven. Overall it was ok. Location good as it's quiet.
We stay here frequently as it is beside the bus depot (alterna). Rooms are big. There is acoffee maker and pack of coffee in room but no water, creamer, or sugar.
The shower head has at least half the holes blocked and this is common in México.
The a/c is mounted over the bed so the cold air falls rapidly onto your feet. Your upper body will be comfortable, but your feet will be freezing. Best take a blanket for them.
Coffee in the lobby in the am. Fresh squeezed orange and grapefruit juice on the corner in front. Othe
corner towards the squarehas good tacos. Try the taco's camarones.
We really enjoy this hotels for all the right reasons! Thanks for having us!

Disliked: Staff & service
Love the location. Only issue was free coffee from 7 to 11 a. Only happened when we showed up at nine and had them make a very small pot. 2 cups at a time in the back room.
It's good place if you're looking for a place to stay for the night or on a budget....staff very friendly and if you're going to be late for your check in time they're understanding about!
The location is good.
The noise from night clubs bus shuttles right next to our room was inconvenient.
Expect to be woken up at 3 am on most days.
The bathroom needs an update
Sliding door is broken and no hot water on some days..
