The room was clean. Great location. Pool area could have had a couple more umbrellas. It was very hot and there was only one umbrella set up. Other than that it was a good hotel. Breakfast was good as well.

I liked my stay, and I would come back, I just think some of your staff needs some retraining, the breakfast ladies were great, when I left. The front desk just said, that's all, not how was your stay, good morning, you need a taxi, come back, nothing. I think they could do better, having said that, I would probably go back.

Property was in poor condition. The pool was not functional. It was so dirty you couldn’t see the third step in the pool. It’s dark and gloomy in the lobby area. It’s on the main street. The traffic is extremely noisy and I made loud noise from the traffic. The bathrooms were a little dirty. Upon arrival the balcony door scrapes the floor and makes a really no noise to go outside to the balcony. Unfortunately, I will not stay at this property again overall, the property needs a maintenance clean up.

Only 2 issues. They only provide 2 bath towels but we were 2 adults 1 child. There were a lot of roaches. I let the staff know and they advised me to keep windows shut and took care of the problem immediately. The staff was so awesome the food was amazing. Even the guest were amazing. I had the best stay ever. It’s the perfect location and affordable and so many things right outside the hotel to see do shop etc.

This is a great hotel if you want to be near everything. Is only a couple of blocks from our favorite restaurant Ah Caramba. Couple blocks from the Malecon and market. Tons of restaurants in any direction and a public beach around the corner. The staff was always friendly
Our room was perfect, beds are comfortable. 
We had a street face balcony.  It is noisy,  but we thought it was funny and part of the charm.
The beach is just around the corner,  great beach, beautiful views and water.

I hated this place from check in. If it was more than 1 night i would have left. Check in staff was not bilingual, and kind of rude. Our bellhop was good and tried his english and helped with my Spanish. It was the smallest hotel room i have ever seen with the smallest bed ever. I dont know if it was even a double. The pool was so dirty i didnt use it, and you couldnt see through the glass on the rooftop patio. Shower door didnt shut and got water All over the tiny bathrooom. Sheets had stains. No pool towels... ugh!

Nice break from the northern cold

Staff was pleasant and accommodating. Asked for a quiet room. First night we were given a room in the front side of the hotel. It was too noisy for us from traffic, very early in the morning. Changed to a room in the back (ocean side) for the rest of our stay. Quiet and pleasant. Beds in both rooms were comfortable. Air condition was good but created a musty odor. Shower stall was big but the placement of the shower head (in both rooms was located beside a corner beam) made it feel tight. Breakfast buffet was good, fresh fruit and eggs, juice, yogurt, sides. Coffee was not available prior to restaurant open hours. Bottled water was provided for the first day only. The hotel is located 3 blocks from Malecon, close for nice walks and far from the blaring music of the bars. There are various restaurants and coffee shops in the area, research the travel blogs to find one that fits your taste and budget. Mcds and Starbucks for coffee and ice cream for the boardwalk stroll. Clean attended washrooms (10 pesos) available. We did not have a car, walked the area. The bus system is good, but needs some knowledge in order to be used effectively.

I booked this hotel as I had stayed there before. They had a good breakfast and an elevator. The elevator was important as I was having hip problems and breakfast was served on the top floor. Elevator was out-of-order. No handrails in the stairway. No wardrobe or any other means to hang up clothing in the room. I will only stay here again if the elevator is repaired. In the meantime, their Expedia listing should remove the fact that they have a functioning elevator.
