A nice little motel close to the malecon, but it needs remodeling. Also, we reserved a suite and the desk girl tried to put us in a single room:(. Breakfast and coffee (included) are not available until 08:00 a.mm, which is pretty useless for anyone staying on a work trip. Finally, we had no hot water...the hot water faucet didn't even work. Place could be a gem, with a few changes.

I eventually got another but there was no network connection at all in the room, spent all my day either sitting at the reception or by the stairs just to access internet. whew

Complementary breakfast was good though, staffs are nice and welcoming but the building needs renovation

Linens had cigarettes burns. Towels were stained or dirty. Insects ran around in plain sight. We didn't stay a single night because it was so bad. The duty manager was a pig. He was rude and argumentative and never sought to solve any of the complaints. Instead, he said we got what we paid for. He also said our problem wasn't with the hotel but with expedia which booked a basic room. I want my money back.

Sent to another similar hotel

On arrival I was told to get into a free taxi that took me to another similar hotel nearby called Renacer. Other hotel guests told me it happened to them while ago as well, so perhaps it's a long term practice.
For the same money I was booked there. Decent local budget hotel with swimming pool and little kitchen serving breakfast and other meals as well as beers. Room was clean although AC condensation was dripping on the floor.
Overall very good value for money and close walking distance to Colonial City.

The Hotel was very clean. The staff were always very helpful even when we did not speak Spanish. The security guard Danilo spoke English well and was always wanted to be of service a real genuine guy. Erik in reception also spoke excellent English. The hotel could not do enough for you all you needed to do was ask. The food was good and an ambient evening sat outside enjoying a cool beer topped off the day. We would certainly recommend the hotel to anyone who wanted a clean, friendly hotel which was near to the sea and also had an on site taxi service that would take you anywhere. Wilkin the taxi driver was excellent but he did'nt speak English but we got by with google translator.
