Everything was fine, including AFFABLE staff and prime location near whatever we determined to be the approximate center of the touristy area. Neat building and rooms with balcony. The breakfast was included and had plenty of meals. Also, we loved how simple the location was.

The location was NICE, and the free parking was an excellent bonus. There's lots of restaurants to choose from, like Mexcalito, set within 5 minutes walk or so. Besides, we parked the car nearby.

Friendly staff and large room. The hotel was just a walk down to los fundadores park. Location close to Colectivo pick up bus stop, only 5 minutes walk away. Centro neighborhood is worth seeing.

Don’t have any issues at all.
