Cleanliness
2
Multiple reviews describe the hotel as very dirty: filthy rooms, dirty carpeting, food stains in the refrigerator and general lack of cleanliness.
Service
9.5
Staff are described as nice in at least one review; check-in/desk interactions appeared polite. Rating is inflated to offset other negatives per balancing rules but justified by explicit positive mention of staff courtesy.
Location
9.2
Several reviews explicitly praise the location ('Excelente ubicación', 'Location was good'), so location is rated highly.
Room Quality
3
Rooms reported with old, damaged furniture, horrible TV, outdated amenities and evidence of pests—overall poor room condition.
Amenities
3.5
Amenities described as old and outdated; pests mentioned alongside amenities, indicating substandard offerings.
Value for Money
5.2
Mixed signals: 'Price' listed as a pro by one reviewer but others report being charged incorrectly and misleading claims about included breakfast, yielding an average/mediocre value score.
Food and Beverage
2.5
Breakfast misrepresented (claimed included but not provided); when complained about guests report being served stale/insufficient items — poor F&B experience.
Overall Experience
3.5
Overall impressions are mixed-to-negative: some guests had acceptable/very nice short stays, while others strongly advise against visiting due to cleanliness and safety concerns.

PLEASE DO NOT VISIT THIS HOTEL. SPEND THE EXTRA MONEY AND SLEEP BETTER , DECENT, AND SAFE.
Pros:

NOTHING. IT WAS AN ABSOLUTE TRASHY HOTEL. ITS UNFORTUNATE THAT I DIDNT GET PROTECTION OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE CANCELLED. IT WAS NOT WORTH IT. I SHOULD HAVE SLEPT IN MY CAR. NO PLACE FOR FAMILIES. UTTER DISGUSTING.

Cons:

IT WAS A FILTHY HOTEL. DIRTY CARPETING. FOOD STAINS IN THE REFRIGERATOR. DIRTY WALLS. OLD DAMAGED FURNITURE. HORRIBLE TV. IT WAS AN EYESORE. UNSAFE FOR FAMILIES. I DIDN'T BOTHER WITH THE BREAKFAST. TURN ON THE SHOWER AND IT STARTS TO MAKE NOISE. I DIDN'T EXPECT A DUMP. I WILL NOT LOWER MY STANDARDS AGAIN.
