The place is fine I guess. But I came in and the floor looks/feels dirty, the bed cover has an obvious stain on it, and the window into my room leads right to the hallway where there are tons of lights. There is no way to block the lights- it’s frosted glass but no curtains or anything. So the room is bright - good luck falling asleep.

I had an awkward gap in my schedule before heading to Mexico, so I booked a budget accommodation—but it exceeded my expectations. The staff was very friendly, and the place was clean with just the right temperature and humidity.

I booked my hotel stay last minute and I wasn’t expecting the best however it was amazing just for one night. Everything is near by and I was able to grab a bite to eat without worrying of venturing to far. There is no running AC but the humidifier and fan in the room was good and I slept well. I love the rooftop area as well It’s my first solo trip and starting my trip at the why not hotel was a good option for me I highly recommend to book with them

The location and staff are absolutely amazing. So nice. The accomodations are basic but everything is extremely clean and well maintained. The place has cool character and is surrounded by an endless amount of super cool restaurants, bars, and shopping. Directly in the center of the town.

If you're ballin on a budget, young, drink, don't mind noise and cramped smelly rooms, then this is excellent for you! If you're looking for sound sleep, a private shtter, and sound sleep, stay away from here. Being frugal backfired on me - after check in and meeting my roomates, staying in my room a bit, i decided i didnt want to be awoken by all the foot traffic in the hostel and by the bar crawl people getting to bed at 3am. I went up the nice rooftop and booked a 200 usd airbnb for 4 nights just outside town in santa anna, super private, no noises. Had a great time. Why not hotel has friendly staff and its a nice place. But if you're looking to sleep peacefully before a hike, be cautious and go elsewhere
