It's an old hotel, with an elevator that works. It's old and not beautiful, but it's clean. The owner and people who works there are very friendly. At the last day I checked out at 11am, but my flight was only at 9, so I let my 7 bags with them in a small room at the first floor and walked the city. When I came back it was all ok... Even my laptop... It's two or three blocks from the beach... Although it doesn't have wi-fi, I got one from another place at my room... And I payed only US$ 55 per day... I recommend...

The location was great....just three blocks away from the beach. The hotel itself was a disaster. It was borderline clean, but only in terms of the bed linen. I couldnt put my clothes in the drawers because they didnt open, and i was scared to go into the shower without my flip-flops. Although it was safe because the only inhabitants were elderly orthodox jewish couples, it wasnt friendly or pleasant. Again, if you're looking for a place as CHEAP as possible (even if it means not clean and without any ammenities) in a great neighborhood, then this is perfect. But if you want to have a fun time with friends or show your kids how to travel, you do not want to stay here!

I can only speak very warmly about the lovely Alamo Hotel. I was very happy there during my three day stay there in April 2008. It is excellently located, not more than 50 m away from the beach. We paid about USD 60 while chain hotels next door charge up to three times that sum.

The rooms are simple but have all the amenities which you can expect. I loved the people who run the hotel who are sweet and helpful. To my mind, Alamo hotel is just it. Highly recommendable!!

stayed at this hotel for one week while in transition of moving..
friendly old lady runs during day.. run down building and rooms with mismatched old furnishings..okay if u like simple bed, no headboard, no view, 20yr old drapes that barely cover the window, air cond. unit that didn't cool, rickity chest with ancient TV with a dial control, small table and chair.. that's it. Has residents that rent by the week that are undesirable, nosey.. refused maid service but when I left to eat, she came in anyhow and let my kitten that was staying in the room out the building and it was subsequently lost for good..(should have sued them, but didn't) however, she was friendly. Fine place if u don't care about your room or surroundings.
