Thoroughly enjoyed the stay here. Was exactly as described. Staff was very courteous and helpful (the hotel as well as the coffee shop). Location is great ...15 min or so walk to the beach, but close to alot of restaurants on 10th, 5th, etc. Great for solo travelers and couples.

4/10 Fair

This is an old-fashioned motel with the doors to your room opening outside, although there is a security fence. There’s not even a security chain on the door. Although the area didn’t feel unsafe, a bit more security in Mexico would’ve been appreciated. There is no breakfast served. Overall, not a great experience.

6/10 Good

We started off our stay with no air-conditioning. Got moved to another room, with no hot water for two days. The free cocktail is not a free cocktail on arrival. We asked for an extra towel and an extra pillow, both were denied. We ate at the restaurant, the first two items who ordered they did not have. The pictures that are posted online did not match our room. The cleaning staff did an excellent job. They were not clear on the drink specials for happy hour, so our two drinks at happy hour was $30. We picked up some street food to taste, was told that the restaurant would not supply a plate or fork for us to eat because no outside food is allowed on the roof. On the upside, the location is excellent. It is near our favorite restaurant. We will not stay here again.

This hotel had excellent wifi and was in the heart of the city. It took 15 minutes to walk to the beach and the Walmart was 2 blocks away. Aesthetically it’s quite brutalist but the staff are lovely.
