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.

Better than a 10
I have stayed several times, and though my Spanish is very limited, The front desk always accommodated me with Grace and professionally. The location is fine. It is near the big mega store, And several good restaurants and a row of food carts that are fantastic.

Bed was awful. Like trying to sleep in crunchy taco shells. A/c was freezing. Remote maybe broken, couldn’t regulate. Cute boutique hotel, cute bar, love the bees theme. Worst bed of the week.

The hotel staff was excellant! The housekeepers were exceptional! All you need is within walking distence including an ATM. The resturant and bar pictured is exactly how it looks, along with a great pool table. The staff in the resturant was very friendly and the food was very good. The maintenence man was always busy working to keep the place in great condition, impressive! I would return and not even look at another property!

Clean and adequate
Very good value. Staff are all super nice and accommodating. Quiet and Close to supermarkets and restaurants.
No fridge in the room. Have to ask for hair dryer. Toilet has a locking door but shower is not in a closed room so depending on who you are travelling with this may pose a problem.
