Generally positive staff interactions in several reviews — staff described as friendly, helpful and 'Excelente atención' — though some lapses (e.g., not addressing a man approaching guests) were noted.
Location
4.5
Mixed: some guests liked the location while others found it poorly located, difficult to access, and with trash/outdoor safety concerns near the property.
Room Quality
2
Poor — reports of bed bugs, moldy beds and pillows, items left under mattresses, strong odors, broken tiles, taped shower controls, difficult-to-unlock doors and poor lighting.
Amenities
3
Below average — AC sometimes worked but noisy, pool was dirty/limited access, no coffee pot in rooms, no ice bucket, and some broken furniture (chair).
Value for Money
6.5
Some guests noted the property was affordable, but many felt the severe cleanliness and safety issues undermined perceived value.
Food and Beverage
4.5
Limited mention — issues include leftover food particles and strong unpleasant smells in the microwave and a lack of in-room coffee; no dedicated F&B service details provided.
Overall Experience
3.3
Overall negative — multiple guests described horrendous experiences, early check-outs and refund requests due to cleanliness and safety; isolated positives (cold AC, friendly staff) did not outweigh problems.

Do not stay here!
Cons:

The toilet was not bolted down so it rocked back and forth. The smoke detector was gone, only wires hanging from the ceiling. Toilet paper holder was missing. Bathroom was tiny. Gnats coming out of the sink.

Avoid this place at all cost.
Cons:

I paid $100 for a roach motel! The motel I booked was not the same motel I saw online in the pictures. The TV didn't work. One of the lamps didn't work. The room was dirty. There were roaches. The overall condition of the place is absolutely horrible. The ONLY good thing was the guy at the front desk was super sweet and helpful!

Overall, a little more attention to cleanliness and pride in the details would make a huge difference in the guest exper
Pros:

The staff was friendly and helpful

Cons:

The room itself was not very clean. The dresser had leftover food particles on it, and the microwave contained a strong, unpleasant smell from leftover food.

During my stay, I also noticed that housekeeping would place sheets and towels directly on the concrete floor downstairs. Unfortunately, some of the towels provided in my room had black stains on them. I ended up purchasing my own towels and sheets to use for the remainder of my stay.

I also noticed that the housekeeping carts appeared to have mold on them, which was concerning.

I understand that the price of a stay can reflect the overall quality, but cleanliness should still be a priority. It really takes just a little extra pride and effort from the staff to make guests feel more comfortable and welcome. If everyone put in a little more effort, I truly believe it would make a world of difference in the overall guest experience.
