Everybody makes a mistake or everything can go wrong at any time. Here when something is not right or not supposed to be that way they are willing to fix it to the best of their ability. The first night when my son took a shower the water didn't drain or drained very slow then it overflowed. Then there was water all over the bathroom and a little bit in the bedroom. It was nighttime. No big deal. The following morning i saw cleaning staff and mentioned that to one of them. Right away she called a maintenance guy. He came. And problem solved. One more when we checked in, she gave me the room with just one bed. Then i went back to her telling her i reserved a room with two beds. She looked at the screen and gladly switched. I love this place.

Nice budget option
Nice inexpensive no frills hotel. Staff was super nice and most understand English. Otherwise just download a translator app and you will be fine. Rooms were clean and WiFi worked well. If I am not mistaken, breakfast was 85 pesos. Not much to do in the area and about 15 to 20 mins walk to the beach or the tourist area. Probably due to Covid, no ice or plastic cups in the room.

Great Hotel!
I have stayed at the hotel once before and was very happy with the overall experience. It was the same great service and met my expectations. Great place to stay if you want to be in a central location. You have easy access to where you want to go.

A great hotel for those on a budget. A few things to know: WiFi is practically non-existant in the rooms. You really only get a good signal in the common areas. The staff doesn’t really speak much English. This isn’t a bad thing but something to know for those who don’t speak Spanish. It’s about a 20-25 min walk to the beach. We loved this because we got to see parts of the town many tourists staying at the beach probably don’t get to see. The food is better away from the beach and much cheaper.

Very clean hotel in very friendly stuff.
We came to early so they kept our bags in the front desk so we could go to the beach and come back and get a room later on that night very friendly staff! Close enough to the beach and far away to make it half the price. Wonderful experience except for my hard bed.

This was my second stay here in 8 years & it continues to satisfy. Staff was pleasant & helpful. Check in/out a breeze. Prices outstanding, especially if you think what the beach folks are paying! :-) Hotel & rooms are well maintained, clean, good beds, & decent continental breakfast. With a car it's 5-10 minutes to the beach area & pedestrian zone. It seems to cater mainly to Latin-Americans but that may be a plus! Similar to a Holiday Inn Express.
