Manta stay

Hotel was basic. Somewhat run down. Our room was large and accommodated us- we were a group of 7. I believe it was overpriced for the amenities available and for the type of room. Pool was being serviced and unavailable.

James

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff was intimidating scary. Made me feel awkward and unwelcome. Room was in bad condition as was the rest of the hotel. In disrepair. Located in a bad area with no safe parking. There were no toiletries or water. However they did provide them when requested and "the man in charge " arrived. The room was way over priced. It was $60 per night. I stayed in much much nicer places for $25 per night. Evidently I was wrong for assuming Expedia had some standards regarding hotels they list.

Las condiciones en infraestructura no son las mejores, pero la zona y ubicacion lo valen. Se supone q incluia desayuno pero no me dieron informacion al respecto al momento del check in. Para ser zona tranquila bien, pero se escucha mucho la bulla del mismo hostal adentro.
