Good value
The only downsides were the absence of wifi in the room, and language barrier. I get it, it's their country, but the hotel details states English as a covered language. Overall an excellent value. We enjoyed our stay and will return. Of course after we learn more Spanish. LOL

I stayed here several times. I have always enjoyed staying here. However, I’ve noticed the food quality slipping this trip. I alerted the staff to my dissatisfaction regarding food that I ordered

Okay for an overrnight
The hotel is nice, but on a very busy road. Must be a slight decline in the road as large trucks regularly used their air brakes to stop - very loud! We slept with earplugs. Would recommend requesting a room that doesn't face the front. Our room was very clean and large enough for a couch to fit. Wifi did reach our room. We also had a safe in our room. Nice size closet but NO hangars, so fairly useless. It was only an overnight stay so not a big deal for us. Enjoyed the complementary breakfast. The incredibly friendly staff that's been mentioned must not have been working when we checked in as she couldn't have been much less welcoming. The pool is beautiful but we didn't use it. If you're in the mood for good Mexican food, head to Mariachis Taqueria. Small and cute courtyard and very friendly staff

Awesome Hotel, great amenities for the price. The staff is incredibly nice and welcoming and accommodating.
Definitely would stay again. Only thing i was not a fan of was the view from the room which was directly at a gas station but it was quite far away.
