The hotel boasts an excellent location in the Zona Colonial, making it easy to explore nearby attractions and the beach. The rooms are clean, but mine had a peculiar smell that was hard to overlook. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay, which was a definite highlight. However, the buffet breakfast could have offered a bit more variety. Overall, it provided good value for money given the location and service.

Overall, it has great potential but could use some improvements.
