The rooms are old and dated , the door leading to our tiny balcony is rotted and had large gaps , allowing the outside noise in. The toilet paper holder did not have a roller The elevator was out of order, They require a room deposit when you check in, I used my credit card , but they didn’t want to credit the card back , they wanted to return it in pesos which is a different exchange rate. Very unfriendly staff except our cleaning lady. Great location, but hotel needs major upgrades.

Fantastic location. This is a no frills, old hotel but clean throughout. The rooftop lounge area is nice, with a small pool and restaurant. I went solo and felt safe there. The beds are very old and not very comfy... but not the worst bed I've slept in there. I brought my own blanket after reading some reviews and I'm glad I did. The only real negative for me was the door lock as there was only a knob lock. This really needs to be addressed by the hotel, just as simple as putting a chain back on! I put a chair at the door under the knob to remedy for myself. I'd stay again.
