Shuttle driver was very nice and front desk staff was friendly and helpful. Jetted tub room looked the same as photos. Only downside was that there was no heat in the bathroom and the week that I stayed was very cold and raining. Room was spacious and housekeeping staff was nice. Location was near freeways and other cities.

Amazing comfy bed, very clean room with everything you need for a cozy stay, helpful staff, free shuttle to the airport. The only thing was I got a veggie tray from the little market store by reception and the veggies were all spoiled.

Fantastic staff, check-in and out, breakfast, room (cleanliness, beauty, space) and self-parking. The room ventilation was miraculous. First hotel we’ve stayed EVER where the ac didn’t sound like a jet taking off every time it kicked on—it was absolutely silent and kept the temperature constant throughout the night. Art at the desk was amazing! Expert, efficient and friendly. Exuded pride of ownership in everything he did. He was at the desk when we checked in at 8:00pm and he was still there/there again at 8:00 am!! The breakfast was amazing. The staff was on top of keeping everything available, fresh, hot and the serving area clean. Only drawbacks were the noise (abutting freeway and, just our luck to be surrounded by constantly slamming doors and coughing people), cleanliness of breakfast tables/floor, and self closing bathroom door. Wonderful overnight get stay!!

This property is well located. close enough to Old Town you can walk but there is a shutttle from the hotel as well. Rooms are basic but clean and beds were comfortable. The only downside is being on the side with the freeway, as it’s pretty loud. Breakfast was good and we enjoyed our one night stay.

Nice hotel near the airport

We enjoyed a 2 night stay at this hotel near the airport .. the room was comfortable and the breakfast was satisfying. There's a convenient shop near the front desk for many food and health items.. the free shuttle ride to the airport was great! Art helped with our questions and was very accommodating.

Very Pleasant Stay

We stayed at the hotel the night before we left to fly home. We dropped our luggage at the hotel and then returned the rental car. The hotel van picked us up from the car rental center and we used the hotel van to get to the airport in the morning. The hotel staff were extremely accommodating and friendly. We had a great time chatting with the reception staff and other hotel guests in the reception area.

The instructions I received to meet the shuttle from the greyhound bus stop to the hotel were mostly useless. I had to phone back 3 times before we found the shuttle. The front desk man was largely unintelligible. Worse than most hotel staff during my visit to Mexico. I was not giving useful info regarding laundry machines, change required and soap purchasing causing me to go back and forth down a long corridor 3 times unnecessarily while exhausted from travel. There was no bed table or light on the other side of the bed. I expected better for $180.
