Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Some of these reviews pretty far ofI’m all about classy places, and obviously you have to understand pricing, for the price this place is great. Very friendly staff, I definitely feel completely safe, and the location is spectacular if you like the real Mexico vs touristy hotspots. This area of town is pretty safe as long as you are street smart and respect the area and its residents. Best for adults and couples.”
“Room was large with everything in it (even hair dryer) there was also fridge and a heater, but not sure if either worked, had no need. Bedding/towels were nice and clean. A bit ran down, but what does one want for such a price? Staff was very helpful and friendly. There was free drinking water in the halls. Not giving 5 stars because they have hourly rates and the large % of customers maybe there for very certain reasons. But it didn't really effect us in any negative way. Stayed with husband and two kids. For only a night.”
“The price on the sign said $390 pesos, turns out that price is for 4 or 6 hours. The exchange rate was $22 and we didn't have exact cash for the room, so we gave them $30 and ordered room service that came out to $8. Overall, it was a good experience.”
