Clean, A/C works, hot shower. The hotel is in an industrial-ish area however there is frequent inexpensive bus transportation to more touristy areas. Staff are friendly but (like most of Manzanillo) they speak very little English.

The room was clean. The staff helpful. The kitchen could be cleaner and better stocked. It would be nice to have real coffee cups and glasses. Non plastic plates and cutlery. Overall not bad.

I loved the fact that the property is gated and secure. The rooms were very clean. However, the limited parking made parking an issue...especially if you are arriving late. Also, before we could leave, they had to 'inspect' our room .. and they WOULD NOT TAKE A CREDIT CARD. We had to pay cash up front for three nights.

Water pressure was very bad took me twice as long to shower. It would have been good if there was no bugs. And the curtains did t provide any type of privacy.

Las condiciones del hotel son algo precarias, las camas no eran tan cómodas y la alberca es más pequeña de lo que se ve en su publicidad. Aunque si bien hacían la limpieza del cuarto; había una pequeña infestación de hormigas en la habitación, por lo que recomendaría mejoren sus programas de fumigación. Fuera de eso, creo que por la relación benedicio-costo está bien

El internet malo, se desconectaba a cada rato. Las sabanas de la cama muy rugosas, en una cama encontramos pelos. Los controles de la Tv y Aire acondicionado en muy malas condiciones. La habitación deteriorada, un tubo del baño quebrado, la puerta del baño chapa quebrada, la cortina de la habitación se veia muy vieja, el ventilador de techo hacia mucho ruido, el porta-jabon de la ducha mal

Siempre es un placer quedarse aqui, el lugar es super tranquilo para descansar, siempre huele a limpio, se nota el esmero en la limpieza cada que vengo, el unico punto negativo son las camas, en algunas habitaciones son un poco rigidas, hay otras donde estan muy bien las almohadas son muy suaves, algo que se valora es que el mntto del A/C es bueno, no huele feo, enfria muy bien, no gotea, que es en verdad de gran ayuda en dias muy calurosos, siempre hay agua caliente y con buena presión.
