2/10 Poor

Not recommended
The property looked cute at first, nice courtyard, decorations, white and blue colour scheme. However, we did not enjoy our stay there. The bathroom didn't have any shampoo, shower gel, towels or hairdryer, and the tap was leaking and making noise 24/7. There was no blanket on the bed either (even though it's winter time and the nights get a bit chilly), the pillows were extremely uncomfortable and gave me a neck pain. The single pane window let all the noise from the street in, so this, coupled with really bad pillows and no blanket, ensured that a restful sleep was out of question. The wifi was really patchy, coming on and off all the time, which was really annoying. They also wanted to take a security deposit in cash, which is a practice I haven't seen in years, if not a decade, and we do travel a lot. So, overall, we do not recommend this hotel.

2/10 Poor

If your thinking about coming here because it’s a good deal.. Don’t. Pay a little more for somewhere else. Unless you want to ask for towels everyday because they take them and don’t replenish unless you ask. Also elevators were broken. Street noise was wild. If you like sleep don’t come here. No hairdryers available either. If you get the suite with the kitchen, they wont supply sponges or soap. You probably have to ask for that too.

This was a perfect place for a gateway. You can cross the main street for restaurants or the best food place in front of the hotel. Pool was nice and hotel was clean. They only serve continental breakfast

The AC leaked on us all night. Could not sleep. Everything was falling apart from the ice bucket to the hanging soap dish. Extra cost for swimming towels, everything. Good for the price and location. Great place if you want to stay near locals and the swimming pool is awesome.

The hotel does not provide any parking. They do don't have a parking lot for the hotel. You need to find parking on the street, if it's late you might not find parking. Inside my room there was a bad smell coming from the drains.

Stay was good overall. Located just a few blocks away from beach and restaurants. I didn't like that the room didn't offer a refrigerator so you can't store leftover food. Rooftop is very nice 👍

10/10 Exceptional

The folks who run Hotel Mar Elena are wonderful and create a wonderful experience! It is a short walk from the beach and while it doesn’t have a beach view, it has a lovely rooftop pool. Rooms at the east end of the hotel are a bit noisier as they are close to a busy street and a Karaoke Bar that loves to crank the volume, but still quite pleasant. Just with the nature of the set-up, if you have noisy neighbours, you will hear them, but this place seems to have a lot of regulars who know each other and are quite friendly. A safe neighborhood in the hotel zone and a lovely spot for a simple getaway.

This was a hotel/suites combo so a number of guests were there for months. It meant there were great common areas and a wonderful rooftop pool and gathering space. The rooms were basic but large, great redone tile bathrooms and the best and helpful staff.

2/10 Poor

Not worth the money
This property looks cute on the outside and we only needed it for a night BUT overpriced WAY below expectations. The couches in the lobby area were filthy as was the floor. Check in was good and the lady was pleasant. Once in the room, the lack of upkeep became apparent. The tile floors were filthy, the light in the bathroom did not work, no towels, half a roll of toilet paper, one tiny bottle of hand soap (trial size) for 3 people. No shampoo or conditioner. The one knob in the shower was completely broken off. The water pressure in the shower was pathetic. Rainshower shower head that clearly needed some CLR to clear out calcium and or debris. The bathroom sink was slow to drain, filling with water quickly while we washedThe bathroom door was damaged and in poor condition. It looked very shabby.It spoke to the poor maintenance this hotel receives. The TV had the cable box dangling from it. We asked the staff to deal with the bathroom light twice. On the second go round a young man came in and played with the switch by turning it on and off quickly. We laughed as we knew it clearly had a short and you had to toy with it to turn on... a little scary for sure. We had to go fetch our own towels and luckily we had our own toiletries. The hotel is cute, great location but is in major need of TLC and a good cleaning. Overpriced. I give it a 5 out of 10 for its proximity to buses, beach and restaurants. I would not stay there again for the price paid

The property is cute, but management is bad. When you rent an apartment you expect to have enough silverware, pots and pans, good fridge, a cleaned place. That was not the case. If you decide to stay here, you will have some kind of issue for sure. Dirty pool, bug bites, dirty place, not enough silverware, pots, pans, non working remote controls, bad smell, no hot water or no water, old bread, fridge will freeze your food, dirty utensils. I will not be staying here again.
