the hotel itself was really cute. we loved the room itself, but the exterior bathroom had cockroaches. overall, the room (for the external bathroom) was really clean and nice, but the bathroom, with the bugs at night, was not the best. loved the location as well.

Staff very helpful. Great A/C. It is in a busy area, so it can be loud, but the location is ideal if you want to be close to everything.

Sara, Tucson

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Stars given only for location and for the nice teenaged receptionist at arrival. 1) The first room I was given was dirty. As in, had not been cleaned at all: dirty towels balled on the floor, hair in the sink, trash overflowing, bed unmade. I was switched to a ground-level room for the first night, very noisy. 2) The water shut off on day 3, a staffer shrugged and said “it happens” and did not offer any help with my needs. (A manager later told me the water should be back in 1/2 hour, it was) 3) everyone in the neighborhood knows the key code for the lobby entrance; the front desk is often unattended: poor security. 4) no elevator and all rooms are up or down stairs; no dedicated bellman.

The room was nice, once we had running water all was good. Lost power in the early evening but it came back on relatively quickly. There was an all night celebration going on down the street so lots of noise but otherwise a very nice hotel!

Tbh it is hard to rate because the staff and location were great. The problem that is easily solved by black out curtains almost ruined the time we spent there. We were in room 4 which is on the corner with a huge and bright street light shining directly at you all night. Additionally the windows are at street level so everyone standing on the corner waiting for taxis etc is literally at eye level with you inside the room. The curtains are see through and don’t quite stretch enough to cover the middle and both ends. You have to decide if you want a gap in the middle or on the ends. The room was so bright we had to put towels up over the curtains to try to cut the direct light. Even that did not stop the room from being daylight bright all night. For us we are out all day and the only reason to have a hotel is for sleeping so this was really bad. Invest in black out curtains and I’m sure your guests will give you a most excellent ratings.

Obvi when I go back to Panama i wont be staying there, im glad I only paid $36 for the night, and used my expedia points (which I wont get back) just bc they didnt want to issue a refund.

The lights in the room were insufficient. There was no light near the entry door, so you had to either turn on the light inside the bathroom or go near the beds where the only 2 lights were located. And those 2 lights were pendant lights which didn't even make enough light to light up the room.
