Very far from the pictures a description. Old not maintained room, uncomfortable bed, horrible lights, bad deco, poor water pressure, rusty faucet. The breakfast is a joke too. Spare your time and money and go somewhere else.

NO NO NO. This place has no ability to lock its front door. Young women working alone had no one to call when even she could not access our room w the weird key. 215-3-am. Then put us in another room that didn’t lock. She had no back up. We could have easily been trapped inside. Said there was no one to call and no options. Luckily I had a man with me who barricaded the door with our bags. So unsafe. The second room they put us in after having to have no place to go for 3 hours while they got us a room flooded when I took a short shower.

The original booked room did not have a window. I had to upgrade and pay out-of-pocket. No hot water in the shower or pressure, AC didn’t work, TV connection didn’t work. The room was not clean. There was no safe in the room. Beach towels were not given easily for some reason.

Booked my room on Expedia. Showed up and they told me that room wasn’t available. Told me my only option was to stay at their other hotel 4 blocks away. My booking was non refundable, so off I went. Other hotel was fine, but I won’t stay here again. There’s other options. I stay here every month and feel like I was treated poorly.

I liked the area but the noise in the front was abit hard to sleep. Im happy with where they put us after. Also, beds are abit hard and pillows were too big for my neck. The service was good and loved the ac. I loved that it was walking distance to alot of things.

Lo mejor de el hotel los dos recepcionistas Samuel y Nicoles ellos muy atentos y rápidos. La piscina es no aceptable llegamos sábado y recién se limpió miércoles cuando entramos en ella es tan pequeña que nos llegó el agua a la rodilla. Muy limpia los cuartos y amplios
Cuarto en el último piso. Pero había una pasillo y tocaba cerrar las ventanas para que la gente no viera hacia adentro

Cockroaches were all over the room and the staff would try to extort you for more money when you leave creating issues that had already existed and trying to charge for it. I do not recommend this place.
