Volvería, dependiendo de la habitación.
Pros:

La ubicación, a una cuadra de la playa y cerca de muchos restaurantes, tiendas, supermercados y parques, plazas, etc. Cerca de todo, en una zona muy caminable.
La atención del personal, excelente, especialmente las personas del aseo.
Habitaciones con refri y buen AC.
Los desayunos buffet y la atención en el hotel Los Arcos, al frente del mar.
Un rooftop tranquilo con alberquita, camastros y vista decente.

Cons:

La habitación que me asignaron de entrada era traumática y claustrofóbica, sin salida, ventana o entrada de luz por ningún lado, tipo cárcel. Tuve que pagar extra para hacer upgrade a una más amplia y que tuviera al menos ventana hacia afuera o el exterior.
El precio de las habitaciones me pareció un poco elevado para lo que obtienes.
De nada sirve reservar con meses de anticipación para que te toque una buena habitación, si llegas tarde, te dan el tugurio o el cuarto de San Alejo.

Great location, perfect for relaxing!
Pros:

Great location, close to everything, the beach, the malecon, restaurants. Although close to main streets, it was surprisingly very quiet. The hotel has a very calm and relaxing atmosphere which we really appreciated. The spaces were always clean. Enjoyed the pool area, calm place for relaxing. Staff was very friendly and attentive at all times. I enjoyed my stay at Casa Doña Susana.

Cons:

Pool towels have to be obtained from another hotel, at the beach. It’s very short walk. Not a big inconvenience.

Pros:

The room type I requested at Casa Doña Susana was not available when I arrived, so they put me next door in Los Arcos Suites. The room was large with a sitting area, but the bathroom was small and old. The pool area was not very nice, and there was no breakfast option. The staff were polite, and the cleaning staff were very thorough. The room was well air-conditioned and quiet from street noise; however, a group of adolescents stayed who were very loud, slamming and knocking on doors and splashing in the pool late at night. If I return to PV, I would not stay in Los Arcos Suites, but I would prefer to stay at Casa Doña based on what I saw of the hotel and common pool area.

All in all a great place to stay close to the beach but unfortunately not the most relaxing place!
Pros:

Beautiful courtyard, great rooftop pool and it’s wonderful that they are a sister hotel to Los Arcos Playa, so we could utilize the beach front there. Yummy breakfast!

Cons:

Although the hotel was generally quiet at night, it was badly soundproofed, so you do hear anyone talking when they’re in the courtyard and there’s some noise pollution from the plumbing.
King bed was nice but took up most of the room.

Comfy beds, close to restaurants
Pros:

This is a decent hotel for the price and location if this is the area you want to be in

Cons:

Although we did enjoy our stay the rooftop pool was so very cold and nt useable for us, the pool across the street was great but often very busy and the one at the resort was so full and in full shade.

Charming place to stay with great location
Pros:

The location was great, I loved the traditional decor and courtyard area. It was awesome being able to use the Los Arcos pool and beach facilities. Gorgeous!

Cons:

Some rooms are dated. I had two reservations - the first room had balcony and updated bathroom. The second was a standard king room with a stocked kitchenette with cook top, which was handy. The kitchenette and bathroom were dated. The second bed was pretty hard while the first was more comfortable.

Pros:

Location, location, location

Cons:

The bed was a little firm for me, and it would have been nice to have body lotion and conditioner in the bathroom.

Pros:

Casa Dona Susana was very clean with comfortable beds, bedding and towels. Has a quaint Mexican charm to it, and would highly recommend.
The only annoying part of the stay was a constant chirping coming from the lobby portion of the hotel. When inquiring about it, they said it had to do with a temperature sensor. Hopefully this’ll be fixed soon so others can enjoy a quite stay.

Pros:

Where do I start. No bar, no restaurant. No parking for my rent a car in the hotel. I bought all inclusive but the bar is two blocks away, it closes at 10:30pm. The TV didn’t work. This was the first Hotel I have ever stayed. The staff was rude.

Pros:

Absolutely perfect! Property, location, comfort, cleanliness and especially the attentive staff Alexander, Joel and the rest of the team. Boutique hotel but with the percs of being sister hotel to beach resort Los Arcos. We will absolutely stay there again next trip!
