My door would not lock, the key card didn’t work I had to be moved to another room. I feared for my safety as a solo traveler. The guy at the front desk also said my room number out loud when is a big no no as a woman, the rooms as poorly outdated and the toilet ran all night, it’s close to the airport so you can hear flights all night. I will never stay here again the bed are overly used and need to be replaced I slept on a towel because it felt dirty, I couldn’t wait to check out. Never again

First let me say location was great, walkable to the beach. Close to a lot of restaurants and souvenir shopping. The hotel was decent, nothing fancy. It was clean and adequate. No hangers in room and no dresser. Staff was great, no issues with them at all. Both restaurants were good, but busy, service was a little slow. Comfortable for a short stay. Nice pool area.

This hotel left quite a bit to be desired. The lobby area was dark n the furniture needed to be cleaned, not welcoming in the least by its appearance. Not what I expected by the online pics at all. We even thought about cancelling our reservation but I was past the allotted time to do that so we thought maybe it would be ok. We were there early so front desk attendant let us leave our luggage till ck in time so we could walk around the area. We got checked in our room n it was pretty stark n needed some repairs n paint. Tge remote for tv did not work n 2 ladies came n tried to connect a Phillips remote to the Magnavox tv with no success. It would connect w the tiny screw in bulb ceiling fan but would not turn off the light so had to unscrew the fixture to turn off the light. The lighting did not work above the sink n was missing parts, no hot water available in sink n no hot water at all for showers. We had no wash cloths or hand towels. Beds only came w a worn gray blanket over the sheets. One wooden chair that looked in need of cleaning n curtains that had some dried blood n other stains on them. We heard every noise, voice n stomp through the night till we got up at 2:30am n then a roach ran out the bathroom n under the exterior door! The exterior door offered nothing in way of security but an old chain lock so we put the dirty chair in front of it. I will never book this hotel again nor would I ever recommend it!!

Staff was friendly, courteous and accommodating. Yes the Hotel is dated but it had everything we needed for one night before our cruise. Pool was available and used by many. Two restaurants available on the spot. I appreciated that it was on the Isla verde strip, very walkable. We enjoyed the beach and great selections of restaurants, casinos, supermarket and Walgreens. As older ladies, the area felt very safe at all times. The laundry was a plus. Thank you for all your efforts. Feliz Navidad. Myrna G- Michigan

Nice and friendly staff and overall good efforts. Restaurant downstairs is nice. Rooms need some serious upgrade though but maybe that’s expected given the price
