Excelente para descansar, solo que no es recomendable para adultos mayores, ya que la propiedad está en una calle de subida, pero fuera de eso, es un excelente hotel para descansar , muy limpio, mega honestos

Un hotel pequeño a menos de 5 minutos del Centro en vehículo, cuenta con espacios suficientes para vehículos en la parte de adentro. Las habitaciones cuentan con todo lo necesario y el servicio de limpieza no es para nada invasivo, definitivamente volveremos. Falta pulir muy pequeños detalles como son algún tapete en el sanitario para no dejar un regadero de agua al salir de ducharse así como shampoo y acondicionador aún que supongo que lo compensan con su tarifa pues es económica y muy accesible. Está justo al lado de una avenida principal donde casi todas las rutas (peseras) van a dar justo al mercado y el centro.

Estuve cuatro noches y me desilusionó mucho que siendo un lugar de playa en su buffet no den ni un producto del mar, en las habitaciones hay cucarachas y se juntaron dos grupos por lo que el servicio de alimentos fue pésimo, en vez de poner dos estaciones de servicio intercalaron a los grupos. La atención del personal fue muy buena pero tienen mucho que mejorar

Tiene precios accesibles, no está muy céntrico pero si en una buena ruta. El personal es muy amable, atento y cuentas con facturación. Las habitaciones son limpias y cómodas, la habitación que me tocó era modernas y linda apariencia. La única observación es que el servicio de restaurante no funciona entre semana.

Es la segunda vez que me alojó en ese hotel, de verdad nos atendieron muy bien nos cambiaron de cuarto por un contratiempo y mi hijo olvidó su cartera y pensamos que la tiro en la calle , cuando llegamos a nuestro cuarto estaba allí, tengo entendido que la empleada que nos cambio se llama Guadalupe Ojalá no me equivoque. Yo los felicito de verdad y lo recomiendo ampliamente. Gracias y que Dios los bendiga

En general la atención es buena voy por segunda ocasión a este hotel lo único k no nos gusta es el horario para la alberca ya k uno va de vacaciones a divertirse y nos sacan muy pronto de la alberca al igual k para estar en el área de mesas nos apagaron las luces para k ya nos fuéramos a nuestros cuartos cosa k se nos hizo de mal gusto

Nice, clean rooms with updated bathroom. Good AC and fan. It's about 20 minutes walk from the beach. The pool looked clean but the filter wasn't running, we didn't swim. I thought there was food because of the pictures, but there isn't.
