The water took at least 20 minutes to warm up and the mini split air conditioner did not work well. I would never stay in this hotel again. ##### Samuel Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Feb 2, 2024 Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Unenjoyable stay For this budget price I just hope for clean and safe. However the room’s door handle was loose and barely locked, felt very insecure. Mattresses had plastic covering under sheets so very hot. Housekeeping did not service the room but took away all the towels (which were hung up, not on floor) and refused to replace them unless they were tipped. Fridge in room very noisy. Generally, the room and hotel smelled like mildew/mould. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Claudia Mar 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service The A/C doesn't work ##### Claudia Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### RAUL ALEJANDRO Feb 3, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Bueno, bonito y barato.
