Pros:

Old fashioned, mattresses are terrible, everything is very old and need to be renovated.
After a 7 hr delay from a bus trip due to an accident and a closed road, check in was terrible and took so long.
They do not speak Spanish or English which is also terrible

Pros:

I would not recommend this hotel. The rooms have no windows, which makes them feel very closed in and uncomfortable. On top of that, there was mold throughout the property, which raised serious concerns about cleanliness and health. To mask the problem, the entire place smelled strongly of bleach, but that only made it worse. Overall, a very unpleasant and unhealthy environment.

Pros:

Staff at check in (9/9/25) were amazing, the girl at the desk was lovely and spoke amazing English. Also, we had a great waiter in the restaurant, younger guy who also spoke amazing English, same evening we checked in - he was wonderful and helpful. The hotel is not fancy, very basic, but it was very clean and very quiet which we greatly appreciated.

Pros:

The property is convenient given its inside the airport.
However, the property needs to be updated: the painting is old, the room despite being spacious does not have a windows. And the room was not up to the standard of cleanness expected for a 4 star hotel. also when we ordered room service the food was nice but when called to ask where to put the plates we were given the answer to leave near our door. And in the morning it was not cleared away

Pros:

The reception staff were particularly unhelpful and unfriendly at both check in and out, a smile can go a long way! Woken up in the middle of the night by someone else opening the door to our room, who'd obviously been given a key by reception. Followed by a call from reception asking who we were and no apology whatsoever! Hotel in disused terminal, directions to which were poor. The room was dated and in need of a good clean especially bathroom. The only saving grace was the staff in the bar who were friendly and helpful. Dinner was however not great. Bearing in mind it's an airport hotel the lack of an early breakfast was unacceptable.

Pros:

This “hotel” - once we found it - is located in top of abandoned Terminal One. No one - not even information booth - in Terminal Two knew where it was. We found it after a nice security guard pointed us to a long dark walkway between the terminals. Luckily two of the three of us are large men but female guests should not try to locate it alone. Oh, and then the power went out … Twice!

Pros:

Las fotos nada que ver con la realidad. Cuarto oscuro y viejo con olor a que estuvo cerrado por mucho tiempo. El mando del aire es en la pared y es imposible entenderlo. Piso sucio. El papel de baño son servilletas. Las lamparas de pared no servian.
