The rooms are a bit small but align with the price. If you're looking for a comfortable bed and very cozy space on a budget, this is the place for you. The staff were warm and welcoming and breakfast was delicious. Close proximity to stores, parks and restaurants, but the area doesn't feel like the safest after late hours. The stay was satisfactory but would have been better if there was backup power. There was a power outage on the final day of our stay and we weren't able to pack early as we were in complete darkness in the room, and it got hot.

Not very central, but you can still walk to the main areas. Check-in took about 10 minutes, the front desk was distracted, and I even saw them possibly reviewing their own hotel on Google, which was sketchy. The noise was awful. I could hear people walking by, talking loudly, and even moaning from other rooms. Not sure if it’s the walls or just bad layout, but it made sleeping really difficult. The motion light outside kept switching on whenever someone passed, lighting up my room every time. The room was super basic, tiny bathroom, no chair or table. I didn’t get to try the breakfast, but they did give me a pre-packed sandwich since I left early, and that was actually good. Overall, it was a bad stay. I wouldn’t come back.

The location was great. You are close to everything. The room was below basic and the restroom was super tiny. I'm already a short guy but I felt even shorter in that restroom. It is a really bad set up. The area around the property is way to noisy. At 4am someone outside was smashing metal it sounded like they were working in a shop. It is way to noisy in this area. Your sleep will he compromised. Convenience is all this hotel is good for. I also got food poisoning from their partner restaurant next door.

Great property, super helpful staff, and a really good location with easy access to local transportation. Uber is very available in the area, and all the drivers know where this hotel is located. It's a little noisy, because you're in the city, but very tolerable. Staff is great, though most of them don't know much English, so make sure you have an app ready for translation if you haven't dusted up on your Spanish in a while (several workers did know some English).

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Overall, the hotel offered good value for the price paid. However, the rooms lack exterior-facing windows, with the only windows opening onto the main covered hallway. As a budget-friendly hotel, it is popular among locals for short stays, including one-night stands. To clarify, this is not a designated “sex hotel” but rather a decent, affordable option that some guests use for that purpose. As a result, you may occasionally hear some intimate sounds from neighboring rooms. One disappointment was finding dried urine drops on the toilet, though aside from that, the room was clean. Another issue was the morning noise level—housekeeping staff were talking loudly, and their radio communications were set at a high volume. I strongly recommend that management equip staff with headsets or earpieces to minimize disruptions for guests.
