At first glance this hotel is very inviting with a lovely pool and common area gardens. Just don't go into the rooms. We checked in without a reservation and did not look at the room before paying. The first thing that we noticed was the overwhelming smell of cleaning solution and mildew and the second was the lack of natural... More

If you are looking for luxury or a resort-type experience, this is not it. Overall it is extremely clean, and safe, and really good people work there. So if, like me, you just want something fairly inexpensive, but clean, its absolutely fine. Basic but fairly nice is how I would summarise the place. Basico pero bueno. None of the rooms... More

This hotel was in a great location (one block from the beach, 10 min from downtown) and is good value for the price (at the time of reservation $50/night and the 6th and 7th night free). The rooms were very basic, with no phone, but with a TV (I don't know what channels were available because I didn't turn it... More
