Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Great staff and the rooms really are great. It's a convenient walk to Zona Romantica, the Malecon and the Coexist Bistro makes some really good food, although I only had breakfast there once. I stayed there in April 2023 and came back in April 2024 because I liked it so much.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Overall experience was terrible because of the staff. Staff was rude and very inconsiderate towards guests. We had a total of 3 rooms in this hotel (really wish we didn't) and the check-in process took forever. The hotel only accepted limited payment methods and wouldn't let you keep your bags in the room or even take a shower until you make the full payment first!! At first they sent me a note saying that you need to pay or call us in 24hrs or we will cancel your booking, so, I paid half the amount (through paypal as a workaround) to ensure my booking. I spoke to their representative who knew the issue but at the time of check-in they refused to generate a paypal link and said we would only accept CASH!! I could not even step in to the room after almost 10hr of travel until I paid them in full (all cash). Exchange rate was as per their wish which I found to be really an easy money making opportunity for them. Alberto B. (one of their receptionist) is till date the rudest hotel staff I've meet and I've been to over 23 countries so far, so he is right up there on the top. He would stop you each time to enter the hotel and check for items you are bringing in (like seriously?), water bottles included. He could not speak english and would only say a sentence or two in Spanish with the word "NO" at the end and make you guess what does he mean. I am pretty sure he was making up rules as he went because none of the emails I received from Expedia or the hotel had mention of pol

The ambiance of Mexico was throughout this 1958 hotel. Close to the ocean and the Malecon. Shopping out your front door. If there was a 4.5 rating, this hotel has it.
