The bed and the shower were very good. The breakfast was varied and the staff helpful. The pool was disappointing, it really is only for kids to play in. The location is good and the price is right!

Door was flimsy. Pool was advertised ridiculously with wide angle lens photo. It’s more of a plunge/dip to cool off in than a pool to swim. Tv was impossible to figure out or turn on.

Good but needs improvement
The check in person was a bit inexperienced but courtous. The place is clean but all the furniture in the common areas are very dirty. And please put a reading chair in the room. Our bathroom was new and beautiful. The breakfast was delicious.

I would go back. But always want the facts upfront
The positives: the breakfast was DELICIOUS! Friendly staff and clean environment. The rooms we were in did not have AC, although that was advertised. Be aware, it is an old hotel so only stairs (consider for luggage carrying purposes). Our first room would not lock due to a key being broken off into the lock but they were quick and accommodating and got us in another room.

No hay parqueo en el hotel
La ubicación muy buena, pero no hay parqueo en el hotel, está detrás de este, llegamos de noche y estaba lloviendo, tuvimos que caminar bajo la lluvia una cuadra, eso fue muy incómodo, solo por eso no volveríamos, menos con niños. La habitación no tenía aire acondicionado, a pesar de que en la reserva ofrecian aire y ventilador de techo, solo estaba este último, si estaba limpia y los paños huelen muy rico. El desayuno incluido estaba bien. El servicio del personal muy bien.

The hotel service was not good. The pictures that are shown on the site do not reflect the actual property. Also, the hotel is a 3 start but everything provided in the room is more like a 2 star. We had a flooding from the shower and the price for 1 night is expensive considering they do not provide you with anything (besides towels and hand soap). The hotel needs to upgrade their rooms and service for the prices they charge per night/room.
