Cleanliness
3
Multiple mentions of dirty rooms, dirty/used soap, slimy soap dish, leak above the bed, bugs and a generally unclean room and pool in several reviews — cleanliness is a clear weakness.
Service
9
Many reviews praise front desk staff by name (Peter, David, Ashley), housekeeping and kitchen staff; a few reports of unresponsive desk calls exist but overall service impressions are strongly positive.
Location
8.5
Several reviewers note good/central location ('buena ubicación'); no major location complaints.
Room Quality
4
Frequent room-quality issues reported: TV not working, AC condensation/moist floors, leaking ceiling, locks that did not lock, noisy/slamming doors — room quality is below average.
Amenities
3.5
Guests repeatedly reported missing or nonfunctional amenities (no phone in room, TV issues, no hair dryer, limited advertised amenities).
Value for Money
8
Several comments note the low price ($50/night) and that the hotel is acceptable for the price; explicit 'you get what you pay for' sentiment and positive mentions of being reasonable for cost.
Food and Beverage
8
Breakfast receives strong praise (one calls it the best hotel breakfast they've had) and several reviews note acceptable/okay breakfast and food service.
Overall Experience
7.2
Mixed overall: several guests report excellent, restful stays with praised staff and breakfast, while others left early due to room/amenity problems. Net experience is mildly positive but uneven.

Pros:

This hotel had very few of the amenities advertised. NO PHONE IN ROOM, TV Did not work, no hair dryer. And the front desk did not answer numerous calls I got so frustrated I left early. I had 4 pixelated channels on day 2 in the afternoon of my stay.

The a/c was set on 65 and floor was moist. The staff was nice and tried to work with what they were given by what I am sure is a bad management team. Needless to say I took an early flight and fled
