The bathroom is extremely small and there is no hot water (by design). The rooms have an open cinder block along the ceiling that easily lets in bugs and noise. Also, the hotel is next to a night club that blast music through the once quiet neighborhood until 2am. People tend to meet at the hotel courtyard after the club closes.

The staff were friendly and helpful. The WIFI worked without interruptions. The shower gave cold water only and you could not sit straight on the toilet. The bathroom was too small.

The staff was friendly & this may be an okay place for singles or travelers who are ok with hostels but for a single mother and her young child I was very disappointed with this place. Live music at night made it hard to rest & overall cleanliness especially bathrooms was bad. I didn’t even end up staying but rather gave the key back and had to find a diff hotel to stay at. When returning the key and telling them I wasn’t going to stay they didn’t bother asking why or offering a refund.

Let me start by saying that the gentlemen that were there for reception and maintenance were outstanding, professional, helpful and expedient in fixing things that are wrong. This is not a 5 star hotel but it is clean and in an excellent location. We had some trouble with our first room because the ceiling had leaks. The next morning we talked to Brian at reception and he immediately found us another room. You have to realize though that the rainfall at that time was the most they had had in decades. They were up on the roof that afternoon repairing it. The new room we had was perfect. Any time we had a question Brian or Guillermo were right on top of it answering it or helping us. I would highly recommend this hotel. We had A/C, private shower and toilet and the hotel is within a 10 minute walk to numerous restaurants. So you know though there is only cold water showers. Not bad after a hot day though!
