I feel that booking through Expedia does not provide a standard room. We were put in a place that allowed entry for birds and hundreds perched outside our room. We walked through droppings the exit our room. The restaurant was very good and pool was as well

The rooms are very dirty. Housekeeping never washed the floors and bathroom. All furniture was thick with dust. First room we had was like a prison cell with a night light always on. 2nd room was great but dirty. Staff are always pleasant. With some extra care this hotel could be a great place. Big problem with birds and pooing everywhere. Can’t be healthy.

The room was clean, traditional Mexico style. The location is really good, walking distance to everything you need. The restaurant looked nice and there’s a small pool on the top floor. Bring earplugs, as it’s very loud at night. We got what we paid for.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
I was extremely disappointed with this hotel room. The room had no lamps at all, several broken tiles, visible mold, and leaky faucets, and shower doors. The room felt demolished then patched back together. Basic amenities were missing — there was no iron and no in-room safe, which are standard expectations. Oh and only a thin bedsheet to sleep in. The worst part was the cleanliness. Birds were gathering outside the room, and there was bird droppings everywhere — on the floor, door, walls, furniture, and even the A/C unit. This made the room feel extremely unsanitary and neglected. Overall, the lack of maintenance, cleanliness issues, and missing basic amenities made this an uncomfortable stay. I would not recommend this property unless major improvements are made

This is an older property in decent shape. Our room was basic with some wear, but clean. Small hole in one sheet and drapery. The hotel is well situated on the river. Our room was quiet. They have s rooftop restaurant that was popular.
