Categories

Cleanliness
7.5
Mixed reports: many guests call rooms and breakfast area 'very clean', but multiple complaints about dirty pool, bathroom stains, hair on beds, a dirty toilet and a slippery bathtub lowered overall cleanliness sentiment.
Service
9.7
Service is consistently praised—staff described as friendly, courteous and attentive (one desk attendant singled out for excellent help). Isolated reports of a disgruntled employee and indifferent responses in a few cases, but overall service sentiment is strong.
Location
9.7
Location repeatedly called convenient, right off the exit and strategic for nearby attractions; one guest described it as 'in the middle of nowhere', but overall location sentiment is highly positive.
Room Quality
8.2
Rooms are often described as comfortable and spacious for families, but there are notes about very firm mattresses, occasional construction/noisy rooms, a non-working AC and drywall issues in one stay—overall slightly above average.
Amenities
7.7
Breakfast and gym receive positive mentions, but the pool is frequently reported dirty or unusable, the juice bar was closed for some stays and guests were charged for bottled water—amenities sentiment is mixed with notable negatives around the pool.
Value for Money
8.4
Value perceptions vary: several guests find the hotel affordable and good for families, while at least one guest felt the nightly rate was too high given unusable pool and limited amenities.
Food and Beverage
9.2
Breakfast is a clear strength—described as amazing with good variety (fruits, eggs, bacon) and coffee praised. Minor service issues (slow replenishment occasionally, closed juice bar) noted but overall very positive.
Overall Experience
9.2
Overall stays are generally positive with many guests saying they'd return and praising staff, cleanliness and breakfast; a minority of notably poor experiences (room under construction, AC failure, unclean pool) lower some stays but do not dominate the overall sentiment.

We love staying there. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is great! And coffee is convenient.
Pros:

Its location! Convenient

Cons:

Blinds in 112 need to be fixed or replaced and the bed needs a new mattress. The one on it is getting quite soft and really sinks down when getting on and sleeping.

Above average hotel. Okay for a night but probably wouldn’t stay multiple nights due to the firm mattress.
Pros:

Good location.

Cons:

Breakfast was a little slow to replenish certain items.
Bed was very firm. Pillow tops would make them more comfortable.

Pros:

Very clean. Except the pool. But we were able to clean it ourselves with the net that was outside. Beds were comfortable, very clean rooms and breakfast area. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

Funcional y estratégico para un viaje a la playa.
Pros:

La ubicación del Hotel es muy buena. El personal súper amable.

Cons:

La limpieza es algo que deberían hacer mejor. La cama tenía cabellos y pelos. Y hasta una mancha de sucio. El baño olía ma porque definitivamente no lavan las cortinas del baño y agarra olor a humedad. La poceta estaba sucia.

Stay somewhere else
Pros:

Nothing, the room my son and I were put in was under construction, the drywall repair was still wet, the air conditioning did not work, the room was so hot we had to use the fan they had in the room drying the wet drywall repair to try and cool us down. When I told the staff about it they offered no apologies just said “Oh, will that be all? Are you checking out?”

Cons:

Absolutely NOTHING!

It was an ok stay for the area. Staff was nice.
Pros:

Decently clean, but could use a little TLC. Close to our event venue.

Cons:

In the middle of NOWHERE (which they cant help).
