    The air conditioning was not working, but we got another room, where it was OK. WiFi is not in all rooms.

    The location is quite at a very nice park, 5 minutes walk to the beach and also to Chedraui. Small but nice pool and friendly staff who guarded our luggage from the morning until the room was ready.

    It would have bern great to have a small cafe in the hotel that sold morning coffee, tea, juice.

    The location was perfect. The staff were helpful and friendly. The hotel was clean and comfortable. We liked the added feature of Patti the resident dog and the 2 resident parrots. We could hear and see birds from our balcony.

    Some of the maintenance of the property has been neglected. While the pool was in great condition, the patio fountain was a mess and had someone working on it late into the night. Much of the paint is peeling. There are wiring problems with the lights and the fans. The free access on the TV is down to one channel and they no longer have remote controls.

    The location was particularly good for quiet privacy. In a city filled with overpriced hotels with a lot of hype, this was a bargain. The staff was very friendly, though a little short on information for activities: they knew only about those that they got a percentage on. The beach and good restaurants were all within walking distance.

    Only 1 inadequate light in the room No towel rack in the bathroom. It's a walk-up building but luckily we travel light Courtyard needed tending. No restaurants immediately near by.

    Excellent value for a budget traveller. AIthough an older hotel, our room was spacious and clean, with a built in closet and desk or table Window looking into the courtyard could be opened for fresh air. Celing fan but no AC which didn't bother me. Guests were mostly Mexican. Staff super friendly but no English so we used a translate app There is a swimming pool. The beach is less than a block. Owner was around, very down to earth. He acknowledged the place needed a 'tune up'

    If you expect a room where all the things are in good condition this is not the place for you. The furniture is in rough shape but mostly functional.The beds were good . The balcony was very nice. We would stay again.

    The people the location and it was a chance to stay in a REAL Mexican hotel. The pool The park across the street and a wonderful beach 4 min. Away. As an added bonus one of the owners is Italian and drove us up town a couple of times and gave good recommendations. His best tip go to the beach at 6:00 to watch the sunrise.

    The room was 100 degrees, super hot; we paid for a room with a fan and it was still boiling. You had to pay more money again for the air conditioning but we had seen on other reviews it didn’t work well anyway so we didn’t bother. There were also ants that made there way into the room, ones that bite so that was a little uncomfortable. The curtains were very light so the sun beamed in making the room hotter and a few things were rather stained.

    The property itself is large and has very friendly staff. The bathroom is large; the rooms are bright and clean and the bed is very comfortable. The swimming pool is a good size and overall the feeling of the hotel is very homely. The staff were very helpful and gave us advise on restaurants, taxis and tours. There was also a very friendly dog!

    I wish there were rooms on the ground floor w/AC. I was here in June and I needed AC. (Senior citizen.) Also, if you need a soft bed, you might not sleep well. The mattress is on a built in concrete base so the beds are very firm. It was fine for me though.

    I love the owners and staff! This is a clean, reasonably priced, no frills hotel near the beach and close enough yet far enough away from the hustle and bustle. I was looking for something that didn’t cost an arm and a leg, that had good water pressure (cold only but I’m good with that; it was actually a bit warm); AC (only a few rooms have it so ask); and a place where I felt safe. It met all of these expectations and the owners and staff are very sweet and accommodating. I highly recommend it!

    Double beds that are a bit small for 2 people. A/C was not working but we had a fan that did the trick. Pool did not make me want to jump in it.

    It's a typical beach town hotel a few minutes walk to the beach, it has a bit of a retro vibe. Spacious rooms. Staff are absolutely lovely, very kind and attentive sharing directions, how to get to places, recommendations for food. Good breakfast
