Stay Away! Bed Bugs, Prostitution, and Scams

This hotel was one of the worst we’ve ever stayed at. We usually book on Airbnb, but because of Dia de Muertos all the Airbnb’s in our prices ($25 a night) were booked so we had to book through hotels.com. Truthfully we’ve not had good luck with hotels.com. The main problem with this hotel was bedbugs. It was infested with bedbugs and mosquitoes. There are also quite a few prostitutes who screamed and hollered all night long, and you could hear it through the walls and open windows. This is the 1st hotel anyone has ever tried to scam us at & our door was super messed up. Every time we tried to go in, we had to get assistance. The front desk guy even had to take the handle off of the door so that we could get in one day. It was just a mess. But they did have 24/7 porn channels on the TV; when it worked at least. So I guess that’s a plus?!?! Not for us. But for the prostitutes atleast. Just don’t bring your kids here. Or your wife. On second thought just stay away from it. There was a nice hotel a few doors down for $35 a night that we ended up staying at instead. I recommend staying there or anywhere else really. As far as being scammed, reviews state that other patrons had similar experiences. The young guy told us we had to pay more money to stay and when we didn’t he held us up for several hours repeating the same thing. We refused to pay & left but it ruined our plans for the day.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Facilities were functional and seemingly clean, but had a poor appearance. The toilet/shower room had an industrial-type toilet with no seat at all. Hot water was only moderately hot. If the ambient temperature was any colder the hot faucet's temperature wouldn't have been hot enough for a comfortable shower. The maintenance/cleaning personnel used this loud PA system at any time of day or night to announce which rooms needed attention. Even if you're not a light sleeper it gets very annoying after a while. Even the person at the lobby suggested me to only pay one night at a time in case I decided to move out early. That was a big red flag. On day 3 of my 3-night day stay I woke up with a rash and hives consistent with bed bug bites. Had to isolate all my clothes treat them for bedbugs when I got back home. Not worth all the hassle for the price.

Suite 500 was fancy, has boutique feel, wall-to-floor mirrors, custom made furniture and decor, functional large jacuzzi. Facing street, with horrible noises all days and nights. Internet was from 1999, dropping left and right, totally spotty and frustratingly unreliable. WiFi during my 2-night stay was just a giant waste of time. Previous stay in December was perfect.

Not bad at all

It depends how you regard the matter of safety. I find the place rather pleasant in view of the rate I paid for the room. Be ready to accept the room doesn’t come with air conditioning and have some mosquito repellent with you. Since it is not on the busiest street, it could look a bit dowdy. However, the room was good and there were comments that the stuff were unfriendly, be factual, you come to a Spanish speaking country and you expect people to understand English? Have a Spanish language book or a translating software handy and it helps break barrier.
