Consider this place a "free reign" place to stay....kinda like an Air BnB or something. No real staff available for help or cleaning but it's steps from the beach, the action on 5th and the city of Playa del Carmen. Keep aware of your surroundings because there's no extra security but it's fine if you keep your wits about you.

The room was dark and in a really bad condition, the bed sheets and pillow cases are very old and stained. The bathroom smelled terrible and no ventilation. The hotel doesn't have an elevator and the stairs are very narrow and slippery. We only stayed there for one night. I do not recommend it.

This property is right on 5th avenue. Entrance is on 2nd st North, pretty close to 5th Avenue. Balcony faces 5th avenue and is pretty loud late into the night. If sound bothers you, you should reconsider. wifi is pretty good speed. Room is small but comfortable for 2. AC worked well, staff is friendly. Easy to get in and get out. Nothing fancy about this place but budget friendly and all the dining options available to you on 5th Ave.

Way over priced for condition of room

Old run down. Bed was horrible. Was supposed to be a panoramic view. Only one glass door to street. Loud music every night until 1:30 am. Rooms are directly over bars with loud music. Did have AC and hot water.

I travel to playa del Carmen every year and this was the worst experience I’ve ever had. This property needs BIG remodeling, nothing is being maintained in good condition. Don’t believe any of the pictures the property posts. The room and stairs are in horrible conditions the bathroom has a terrible smell of sewer.
