Hotel is old now, I booked two rooms and both had issues. One the A/c kept blowing the fuse, the 2nd room had issues with the toilet and wouldn’t flush. The pool has so many broken tile in the water that cut up your toes. For the amount you spend in this hotel you can definitely find something better.

It is my first time in San Felipe; it is nice and within the budget for a vacation or weekend getaway. The hotel is outdated but very clean, and the pool and beach are clean. Everyday room service, a big room, a small free bottle of water daily, towels and shampoo, and a nice restaurant. What I don't like is that there are stray dogs on the beach; there is not enough information about what to bring or what is allowed to bring, as some guests have their own BBQ and chairs and an umbrella. the Hotel is very close to downtown.
