Good friendly staff great location Church next door is loud in the evening but rates are good rooms clean and as a bonus there is a bar fridge in the room! Cold beer is important
Perfect location. It is located right in the middle of the plaza. Very safe and the most amazing thing is the people. All of them. They are nice and very polite and helpful. They don't actually accept your tips :) But the hotel is nice. Well located I stayed there two nights . $600 mexican pesos each. Very cleaned room with AC. Wifi is not that great on the second floor but I can't complain. Loved it and I would definitely come back.
It was a very nice room and very friendly people at the desk of the place. We had aircondition and everything was clean ! We spent some nice time there
Nice place by the sea. Rooms are spacious and clean. Only downside is that staff don't speak English.
