For this budget price I just hope for clean and safe. However the room’s door handle was loose and barely locked, felt very insecure. Mattresses had plastic covering under sheets so very hot. Housekeeping did not service the room but took away all the towels (which were hung up, not on floor) and refused to replace them unless they were tipped. Fridge in room very noisy. Generally, the room and hotel smelled like mildew/mould.

Terrible experience to say the least. First of all the ac wasn’t working in two of our rooms and they wouldn’t give us another room or attempt to fix it. Now the bed sheets were stained and dirty with a very outdated room with a hard mattress. The restrooms looked as if they’ve never cleaned them toilet seat was yellow mirrors were dirty, shower floors were dirty and worst part was the shower head had green/black mold on it. We didn’t last more than a couple hours there due to how unbearable it was. Then to make it worse the lady at the front desk took us saying we wanted to leave and get a refund personal and didn’t want to speak with us no more. Very unprofessional place HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!!!

The location is excellent, very close to Quinta Avenida, but without the noise. An easy walk from the ADO bus station. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Great options for food and all amenities. The beach is super easy to access. All in all, for the price,I really enjoyed my stay here. Would stay here again.

This hotel is fine for budget travel. Very centrally located. The property is dated and could use a total renew but beds were decent, shower was hot and the room was clean.

Not great, not absolutely horrific, there is definitly better places to stay in playa. Especially for that price. We got "upgraded" to another room in the building next door, not really sure it was an upgrade. My room was filthy. The sheets appared to be washed, but not enough to get the stains off. We had 3 rooms, in one of the rooms, the fan was not working. Had to help it by hand to get the fan to start spinning. When the fan finnaly was spinning, it sounded like a tortured cat, so we had to turn it off. The controller for the aircontiontion was also not working in one room, had to take the batteries in and out of the controller to make it work. Could have booked a super nice hotel for only 30$ extra, but i didnt think a 3 star hotel would be this bad. Nice and friendly staff, but horrible maintanace and cleaning. Also, we booked with breakfast, but they insisted we booked without breakfast. Did not care to argue with them at the time.

It has nothing to do with the photos, the rooms have very bad smells, they are too dark so that you can not see their dirt and you have the feeling that you are entering a grave. In short, they are not for people but for animals, and I say that who I have been to countless hotels and this is the first time I have written such bad reviews about accommodation. I did not stay there for ten minutes, I was charged for my stay and went to another hotel.
