This was the worst hotel experience of my life. The furniture was old, worn out, and damaged. The room was extremely dir
Pros:

Location

Cons:

This was the worst hotel experience of my life. The furniture was old, worn out, and damaged. The room was extremely dirty and had a terrible odor. The microwave was in horrible condition, with holes inside, and the smell coming from it was so disgusting that it nearly made me vomit. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Place has potential but needs a major upgrade.
Pros:

Location, close to the beach. Front desk staff was nice.

Cons:

The rooms were dark, walls were dirty with paint chipping away. The bathroom had rust and you can smell the humidity in the room. Beds made too much noise just to get on. You can hear the people next door when in the shower or flushing the toilet. No ventilation in the 2nd room.

Cons:

SOMOS ADULTOS MAYORES y nos dieron un cuarto de FUMADORES, OLIA FUERTE A NICOTINA. Nosotros habiamos separado con antelacion un cuarto en primer piso "NO FUMADORES", cuando llegamos nos dijeron que el unico cuarto que tenian era un CUARTO "PARA FUMADORES" EN SEGUNDO PISO Y SIN ASCENSOR.
Reclamamos cancelando el hospedaje y en lugar de disculparse por el peligro de nuestros pulmones exhonerandonos del cobro de esa noche por ese cuarto de NICOTINA....nos cobraron otro dia mas de hospedaje.
Un cuarto que ni abriendo toda la noche la puerta, ventana y aguantando el intenso frio, se iba EL OLOR A NICOTINA..al dia siguiente nos fuimos. El hotel estaba sucio, las cortinas etc..
Pesima atencion.
