Pros:

Lo que más nos gustó fue las instalaciones del lugar, ya que contaba con todo lo esperado en la descripción.

Cons:

Lo que consideramos a mejorar fue que se podría contar con una escoba y bolsas de residuos para la limpieza por cuenta propia. Ya que si prefiero hacer la limpieza por mi cuenta en vez de elegir el servicio de limpieza, no tengo como hacerlo.
En nuestra experiencia, fallo un poco la comunicación con nuestro check in. Ya que se nos presentó dos inconvenientes con los códigos de acceso. Si bien fue resuelto, pero en el momento fue incómodo.

It was horrible not recommended at this price
Pros:

Quiet area

Cons:

The booking ad and pictures misrepresented the property.. There was no wardrobe or closer nor clothes rack. Neither was there desk or table with chairs eating area. No safe, no hair dryer, no daily housekeeping nor towel replacements until the day before we left, we were there seven nights.
Typically hotels give water daily, not here. Even a request for toilet paper was ignored. There were no windows, therefore no fresh air or light. We often resorted to leaving our door open. The air conditioner was over the bed and dripped water. The bathroom light didn’t work, they did nothing to remedy.
We asked to cancel but were refused without forfeiture of entire money. We contacted booking directly and they arranged a 30% discount.
Overall very unprofessional, even failing to take our documentation on arrival.

Pros:

Staff

Cons:

They try to charge a towel for $900 arguing dirty towel, but it was not, we went to a laundry to clean it in order to avoid the charge. Be careful about extra charges, looks suspicious.

Pros:

La cercanía a la 5ta. Av. y a la playa.

Pros:

It's a fairly decent place, but I lost water twice and hot water one day. Overall, it was a complete calamity. Supposedly, they have a new girl who might be able to straighten things out. I won't ever back because it took the new girl 5 days after the fact to come to check water. Luckily, there was a couple next door that managed to get the water back on.

Cons:

Lack of management.
