On my check-in the key that was given to me did not work. I had to go up & down three times in order to get a key that work. 03/26/2023 same thing I had to go four times. I asked the person at the front desk to ask someone to go with me to make sure it opens. He was given vives as no care in the world and was in no hurry to help.

It is a cute basic place. The ownership clearly takes pride in their business. The staff are all very friendly. The breakfast is 7am to 9am and is included in the price. The breakfast is a basic hot breakfast cooked to order. It is about a 10 minute walk to the main plaza. Before considering other options, keep in mind that the breakfast will save you time and money and the staff at this hotel really make the place special.
