Convenient / well maintained for short or emergency use

Categories

Cleanliness
7.2
Mixed reports: several reviewers explicitly praised 'limpieza' / that it was clean, but others reported smells and black/dirty water from taps. Overall slightly above average due to multiple positive cleanliness mentions tempered by specific hygiene issues.
Service
6
Inconsistent and sometimes poor: manager described as rude and nasty; guests reported misinformation about included breakfast and delays/complications with deposit refunds. Some staff interactions were functional but service reliability is an issue.
Location
9.8
Clearly positive: at least one reviewer explicitly praised 'la ubicación'. Location is one of the stronger, consistently positive aspects mentioned.
Room Quality
6
Mixed quality: some rooms noted as reasonably clean, but others had odor issues and concerns about water quality; accessibility (stairs) was a problem for a disabled guest.
Amenities
4.5
Below average: key advertised amenities were problematic—pool reportedly not working and breakfast advertised but not provided, leading to complaints of false advertising.
Value for Money
5.5
Weak value: guests felt misled by false advertising (pool/breakfast) and experienced deposit/refund problems, reducing perceived value despite the low price point.
Food and Beverage
4.8
Negative: breakfast was advertised but several guests reported it was not offered; F&B expectations were not met.
Overall Experience
9
Mixed to positive for some but polarizing overall: multiple reviewers had strongly negative experiences (walking out, rude manager, false advertising), while others found the property clean, convenient and usable for emergency needs. The experience varied significantly by guest, with strong positives around convenience and location balancing several serious negatives.

Cons:

No breakfast. Tried to pre-check in before 9pm. Called and filled everything out and they didn't show it done. Gave us a king room instead of 2 doubles

Pros:

Absolutely almost nothing, i have to give credit tha it was clean not the best place at all, the pool wasn't working and that was one of the reason i went there that i chaged from another hotel to there and it says breakfast inclusive and that also is why i choose there but no, when i went to check in the person upfront said that there is breakfast included but then next day they told me that they dont do breakfast which the pool and breakfast is false advertisement. Therefore then i dhould have get back my money since i had to buy breakfast and couldn't enjoy the swimming pool. That is crap and on top of it im disabled and i had to going up stairs everytime. I will never ever come back to this place and i will make sure no one i know go there. I should get a refund for the no pool and no breakfast. Beside they told me they will not take out the security out of my bank account and they did now i have to wait several days for my money. You guys are too much lird and false advertisemen i will report this to BBB.

Cons:

Nothing at least it was more or less clean and on thurday morning the water in the face basing was coming out black and dirty and i fidnt notice it si if i get an infection in my mouth i will suit you guys it is just too much nonsense.
You asking to share photos there was nothing good about taking photos there

Pros:

The area, and the indoor pool.
