During my stay, I did not experience any major issues, only minor situations that I did not consider alarming. However, during breakfast, I felt uncomfortable with the way a member of the staff asked for my room number, using a tone that I perceived as uncordial and unprofessional. What concerned me the most was that I observed other guests who were not asked for their room number, particularly guests of American Nationality. This led me to feel that the treatment may have been influenced by appearance or nationality, which I consider inappropriate. I have been staying in hotels for many years, and this is the first time I have been asked for my room number in such an unpleasant manner. I understand that there may be controls in place to prevent non-guests from accessing the breakfast area; however, these measures should be applied consistently, respectfully, and professionally. Additionally, I do not believe that justifying the situation by referencing the number of people to be controlled is an explanation that should be communicated to a guest. Such matters should be handled internally and projected in a professional manner, without shifting responsibility onto the customer. The experience was uncomfortable, and I believe it is important to share this feedback so that alternatives can be evaluated to prevent similar situations in the future.

Our stay at this hotel had some positives, but overall it was disappointing due to poor communication and lack of transparency, especially while traveling with a baby. The hotel appeared clean and well maintained upon arrival. The room itself was clean and comfortable and met basic expectations. We appreciated that it included a microwave, since many hotels have removed them, which is inconvenient, particularly when traveling with a baby and needing to warm bottles or food. Check-in initially went well, and staff agreed to switch us to a king-size bed to fit a playard. However, it was not disclosed that the room was on the second floor or that the elevator was not available. We only found out after receiving the room assignment, which required carrying our baby, stroller, luggage, and playard up the stairs. We later learned the hot tub was unavailable due to permit issues, despite appearing operational. Another issue occurred when my husband followed staff instructions to find the ice machine, and was yelled at by another staff member (“wo wo, no puedes meterte ahí”), which was unprofessional and humiliating. The only standout positive was breakfast—the staff was kind and attentive, and the food was good. Overall, while the hotel was clean and breakfast service was excellent, the experience was negatively impacted by poor communication, unavailable amenities, and unprofessional staff behavior.

What a make over from the previous hotel! The room was clean and the hotel looked spotless. The staff was courteous, very attendant...Just plain awesome! The hotel is still being remodeled so no heated hot tub or pool for cool nights...It's still bearable.
