The hotel is an ok hotel. Beds are new and comfortable. The bathroom is ok as well. The AC works wonderful. You get what you pay. It does have its own secure parking which I like. Overall is a good hotel for one night stay.

Solo traveler here, stopping by before heading to Roatan. The hotel was easy to find, but there aren’t many restaurants around if you come here at night. The staff is helpful and polite. The room is a little run down but there are no bugs or dirt. You can hear rats at night, but they have traps so they’re currently fixing the problem and won’t go in the room. They have hot water too. I felt safe staying there. The only issue was that they did NOT have breakfast in the morning. I don’t think it was the hotels fault. But more of the restaurant not being open.

Great air conditioning and hot shower. Close to the bus station. Grocery store around the corner. We did not sleep well due to light and noise of people in the building. Room darkening shades would have helped tremendously. Also we were charged a little more than the total price on hotels.com.

I had to double pay for the room. I paid expedia, but when i got there, they had my reservation but no money so I had to pay twice for the room. Expedia needs to either clarify that going through them and paying only reserves the room. However, the staff was very nice and helpful.

The hotel is for one night ok when you are on transfer. A Walmart it’s very close to the hotel. There are also typical restaurants and street food arround. AC worked perfect. It is very hot in the property. The stuff was very friendly and helpful. The local Bus Station is across the street, Cristina Transporte it’s a walk of 10 minutes.

You get what you pay for. The hotel is ok, not a luxurious one. But it does the job. AC works great, tv remote doesn’t. Water pressure is low. The location is good close to main stores and attractions. The beds are new so the fell awesome. Pillows too. Overall is just ok if you are looking for a place to sleep, nothing else.

The front desk at night is great, but during the morning everything has to be done through the chinese restaurant desk and there’s a young lady that works day shift. She harasses you about night stay payments or even asks raising her voice in from of all people at the restaurant to give her the TV remote and room keys back. I think that there should be a better control in day time. It’s embarrassing to get stopped in your way out and get asked not in private to pay your night stay which you already did prior at check in. I understand that she is trying to do her job but there are ways. It is unfortunate but this is something that happens with every reservation I make. I hope that they talk to her or give her a briefing to who’s booked and for how long so this doesn’t happen every time. The report given to her should include everything booked rooms, rooms to be vacated, who’s paid for and who’s to pay, etc. in other words with a little bit of management these things shouldn’t be happening.
