Pleasant stay in Vallarta
The hotel was clean and our room was comfortable. The rooftop pool area and the restaurant were very nice! Excellent happy hour! The only downside was the lack of wifi. Only available in the lobby and not always good even there.

Fantastic location. This is a no frills, old hotel but clean throughout. The rooftop lounge area is nice, with a small pool and restaurant. I went solo and felt safe there. The beds are very old and not very comfy... but not the worst bed I've slept in there. I brought my own blanket after reading some reviews and I'm glad I did. The only real negative for me was the door lock as there was only a knob lock. This really needs to be addressed by the hotel, just as simple as putting a chain back on! I put a chair at the door under the knob to remedy for myself. I'd stay again.
