I don't know what they remodeled, but it surely wasn't the beds and decor. The restaurant did not offer what they advertised as far as the various types of cuisine. When we first pulled up in front of the hotel, I thought it was closed. No curb appeal, and the pool needed resurfacing or painting. Very tacky. My worst fears... More

The pool is fabulous. It was our favorite thing about this hotel. The rooms are average looking, but very clean and spacious. The restaurant on the first floor has nice breakfasts and coffee, and the waiters are more than happy to bring your drinks or food over to the pool-- which is very nice. Antonio and Oscar are the nicest,... More

I used to love the Gardenias and stayed there lots over the years, I was just there Jan 08 and it appears that someone from France bought it and raised the rates from $50 to $70 and tore out the locked gated parking area. They have done some improvements, like paint murals around the interior walls and are putting in... More

Speaking of loud, we came at the end of Holy week, and this is a big vacation time for the locals, who... More

I chose Hotel Gardenias because its bilingual staff could communicate with my Sesame Street Spanish. For $34 USD, I got a room with two full beds, television (which I never turned on), private bathroom, and free access to the beautiful pool. For under $5 USD, I got a "Continental" style breakfast, including juice and coffee. The hotel had simple maps... More

Hotel Gardenias is about 4 blocks off the Beach, so it is considered a "Mexican Tourist" hotel. It is a well maintained typical architecture hotel; a central swimming pool surrounded by two stories of rooms. It has a secure fenced parking lot. I elect to stay here, but if you want to be in on the action and on the... More
