My condo was under renovations for the pool this week so I was looking for somewhere nice to stay for the night that had a pool. Upon checking in I went to the rooftop pool to realize there’s no water in the pool and that it was in fact also under maintenance this is very disappointing and I checked out immediately I Feel like I wasted my money. You should be letting people know before they book that the pool is not in use.

The Hotel itself is nice! Close to the fifth avenue and the beach, so location is amazing! The only bad part is that next door there is a club so the music is very loud until late and it’s hard to sleep. Otherwise, everything was great!

Hotel economico

Excelente ubicación, cerca de 5ta Avenida para comer lo mejor de comida mexicana y platas hermosas. El hotel tiene toallas tan viejas que se ven grises. La regadera necesita limpieza , no sale agua 100 %. Un gallo atrás del hotel gritando toda la madrugada y ruido de música y huéspedes platicando en los pasillos a media noche. La atención de los chicos de la administración es excelente, pero doy un cero al desayuno, son unos sándwiches muy austeros y café. Las instalaciones están renovadas y es económico. Si no te importan los ruidos y toallas grises que un tiempo fueron blancas, es un buen lugar económico para estar.

Fraude financiero hotelero BFH ATTRACTION

No respetaron la reserva, nos cambiaron a un hotel con menos servicios y de menos calidad. Los diferentes empleados que nos atendieron alegaron muchas y variadas justificaciones tales como: -colapsaron sus Aires acondicionados -se vendieron mas reservas que su capacidad -aceptaron un grupo de 30 personas y no respetaron las reservaciones previas. Al final es un fraude financiero: es un modus operandi. Venden las reservas a un precio. Al llegar te mandan a un hotel de menos precio y se quedan con la diferencia a favor, y vuelven a ofertar sus habitaciones a un precio mayor. Y a los que llegan buscando hospedarse en ultimo momento, les disparan el precio de sus habitaciones y siguen moviendo los que ya reservaron. Es un fraude, porque incluso cambian de nombre al Hotel, y cambian de teléfonos.

It was a nice hotel, could have used more hot water had to take cold showers half of the week. I also got a few drops of blood on a towel (pimple broke after showering and I didn’t noticed) and was charged 100 pesos for it. Also if you want a blanket you need to ask for one. We thought they only gave sheets and only found out the day before leaving we could ask for blankets, we did ask but seems the cleaning lady forget and therefore never got any. Staff and were friendly. The breakfast was included as indicated however it was about 2 blocks away in another building, please also know only coffee, tea, juice, toast and game are included anything else needs to be paid for.

For a budget hotel, I thought it was great. The safe was new and worked well, the shower was good, and the mini-fridge proved essential. It was an easy walk everywhere I needed to go. The best thing about it, though, was the included breakfast!! It's not at the hotel but at a restaurant just around the corner, and it was wonderful to start each day with a real Mexican breakfast - coffee and a rotating menu that was more than I expected.
