8.2 out of 10, Very Good, (62)
"I had a good time staying here! The tv had more channels than regular cable so I enjoyed that. AC worked great. The breakfast is coffee, cookies, and cereal. The location was excellent, two blocks from the malecón with many restaurants around and an Oxxo in the back. The only problem was that my bathroom sink was leaking. And I didn’t know I could ask for a blanket until I saw them in other rooms and wondered why I didn’t have one. So my second night was more comfortable for sure. :) "

"Very noisy camping. Matras is very thin, did not have a good night sleep. Very basic kitchen, there are ants there. There are chickens just next to the property, they make a lot of noise starting 5 AM. Atmosphere is nice though, close to restaurants (a lot of noise until after midnight), ADO is on walking distance. "
