Decent for the price

This hotel is what you would expect. In the city center across from the beach. The beds are very firm, the wi-fi was weak in the rooms, and there was no hot water to shower (which hadn't been advertised). However, the room was spacious, the A/C worked, and the breakfast was good. All in all we were satisfied for the price. Ask for an indoor room if you are affected by noise at night, as it gets loud outside the hotel at night.

Nice hotel for the price

It is close to the beach but the hotel is very old. They do not have lunch or dinner service. The wifi is only in the common areas. The town itself is really quiet. If you are looking for a tourist experience I recommend to search a hotel near of the Rodadero Beach you will something for the same price.

La atención y el servicio fue excelente. Está ubicada en un lugar bien céntrico de la zona histórica frente al malecón. Es un hotel bien sencillo pero cómodo y el personal es bien amable. Algo a mejorar es recoger la parte trasera de la oficina donde hay ubicado unas cajas frente a varias habitaciones y no se ve bien. Gracias Luis por las conversaciones que tuvimos.

We spent 7 days in this hotel. We dealt with 5 employees, including one that was a temporary employee, Orlando, Fredy, Sol, and Paola? were extraordinary and dedicated to the customers. Luis seemed to be there just because he had to. Its an old hotel but Seño Sol makes an effort to keep it clean and organized, she also spoiled us with the food. There is a zone that looks rough close to the hotel so we just avoided, but across the street, there is a small beach and a nkce area to eat something light. Also, boats to go on tours or diving and an area to walk and/or exercise.

Es la segunda vez que nos quedamos aquí. No es un hotel lujoso con muchas comodidades ni adiciones pero es perfecto para llegar a descansar. El personal es muy amable y atento lo que para nosotros hace la diferencia. Las habitaciones son limpias y de tamaño adecuado. El desayuno es bueno. En general lo que recibimos de este hotel es mucho mas denlo que esperamos por el precio.

El hotel queda exactamente al frente de la playa, el desayuno es delicioso tienen una o dos opciones diarias pero es fresco y rico. lo que no me gusto, el hotel realiza limpieza diaria (cambio de sabanas, toallas, recogida de basura) pero duramos 4 dias y no lavaron el inodoro. su gente es muy amable y la habitacion se muestra tal cual aparece en la foto. para finalizar ten pendiente y/o preguntar al hotel si el valor de la habitacion que rentaste incluye el iva, por que para nosotros no lo incluía y tuvimos que pagar dinero de más en el hotel. para cubrir el impuesto iva.
