The hotel is very close to the Hotel Zone and the price is very affordable, very comfortable and quite. Within walking distance to the beaches and the Super Market.
It was a nightmare. Difficult to find it, the name advertised is not the same name the hotel shows outside. The elevator and electric stairs did not work, you have to carry your loggage if they dive you a room on 2nd floor. The sink was dirty, the room was very hot, you have to activate the AC and wait 30 minutes until it cool off. The wifi disconnected every 2 minutes. I asked for a refund, the manager said he would approve it, so l left and booked another hotel, now Expedia say the manager has not approved the refund. Many inconvenients and they don't want now to return my money back.

Good location so you could walk to just about anything you would need. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The photos of the room were a little deceiving, there are no windows, and we learned you have to run the shower for about 10 minutes before any hot water comes out.
This has been a fantastic hotel that is now past its prime but still very comfortable, inviting and intriguing. The staff are helpful and the morning breakfast buffet is very good.
For the money, the rooms were large, beds were king sized, and all clean. The hotel has little amenities but there's a cute coffee shop with a great breakfast on the backside. My teenage sons loved exploring the old hotel

The hot tub did not get hot. This was very disappointing. The location is easy to get to and had a nice restaurant very close for breakfast. Interesting concept of converting a mall into a hotel, the room was large and quiet.
Very "efficient" (what you get for the money you pay).
Good location, clean, quiet (stayed here at the end of the busy season).
Nothing to complain.
Interesting approach, to convert a (closed) shopping mall into a hotel.

Okay stay
Emplyees were friendly and helpful.
The hotel seemed a bit outdated and a bit noisy from the hallway.
Beds were comfortable and good and location fine for a few nights before continuing travels.

Good location. You get what you pay for. We just needed it for 1 night and it was good enough
Each employee I encountered was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. They were patient in answering my questions. I want to commend the women preparing the breakfasts. The food was good, hot and tasty! The restaurant was clean, airy and comfortable.
The rooftop pool was an unexpected treat.

Great location, decent hotel
This hotel was very close to the beach and a lot of tourist attractions which made it really easily accessible. reception was very good for arranging tours for us but they didn't even have an extra blanket when we asked for one. due to heavy poor on the day the roof was leaking in the hallway. the gym was not really in a working condition. Room was spacious and clean but would have preferred carpet floors instead of tile.
The outside of the hotel may probably fool you, but as soon as you enter the property, you notice a simple front desk and hallways, but good customer service. Something that should be mentioned is that the bathrooms that are considered public are aging and appear abandoned. But when you enter your room, you can see a room that is on par with large renowned hotels, clean and comfortable, I fell in love with my room. This hotel is undoubtedly a gem in the hotel zone and at a price that cannot be matched. It has a buffet restaurant, the food is good and the service is friendly. If you plan to spend the whole day out, this is the right hotel.
