James
Very clean rooms and common areas. This property is a no frills kind of place with friendly, helpful staff. The location is incredible, just steps from great bars, restaurants and all that Cabo San Lucas has to offer. It’s inexpensive and is a great value. I’ll definitely be back.
Kenneth

AMARI
Simple clean room, walking distance from all the restaurants, bars, and clubs.
Michael
The hotel looks a tad sketchy from the outside, but has good locks/security. Walking distance to multiple restaurants, stores, and the marina.
Nothing fancy, but had clean rooms, a mini fridge, a TV, and the AC blew cold cold air.
In addition to restaurants, bars, etc., Surrounding area (and it seems to be like this in the general area) has a plethora of pharmacies and massage parlors.
For guys going down to fish, guys going down to hang out and party, definitely worth considering.

Great convenient location, excellent staff, housekeeping. Super clean room. Very basic but worth the price. And safe, has an extra gate that requires a key also prior to getting to the rooms. Also has a refrigerator that worked great. Would definitely stay here again.

Very Friendly Staff, Big, Clean Room, Great WiFi, Parking. A great place for a 1 or 2 night stop over in Cabo.
arash
The room was very clean. The location was great. Check in was flawless and they allowed us early check in which was greatly appreciated since we had arrived from a 24 hour boat ride at 9 in the morning. The only issue was they did not clean the room during our 2 nights stay. This may have been by design but I did not see any door hangers to either request or decline the cleaning. There was a sign in Spanish in small print which may have explained this which I did not translate. So the cleaning schedule may have been explained in that sign. Regardless, I was very happy with this hotel.

Simple, functional and close to ammenities. Not many services on site, but it's good value and close to the action.

Nice place for a couple of nights, The staff were very nice, parking can be a challenge, but for a place in downtown cabo to even offer it was nice. The hotel is very basic, not in a bad way, it is in a great location and they are very friendly.
Johanna
The hotel was good. It wad about the location, everything was less than a 10 minute walk like marina and beaches. Less than a 2 minute walk to downtown where stores and restaurants. The shopping plaza that is like a mall is 15 minutes away and the Walmart is right across from there. Room was clean and air conditioner worked great. It decent and great price. The staff was helpful and friendly. Our rom was cleaned daily and the plus there was a fridge. Planning to go back with family and will stay there.
Michael John
Good, basic room at a fair price in a big city just a block from all the action and food. And very nice folks running it.
Richard
Super clean, best value in downtown Cabo
We have been visiting Cabo for over 30 years, and this is the best hotel for the money that we have ever stayed in. Although it appears to be an older hotel from the outside, it has apparently had extensive updating on the inside. It is very well appointed, is extremely clean, and the management is friendly. Also, there is very little street noise, which is uncommon for a downtown location.
Victor
Well keep, nice and clean, friendly and helpful staff. Glad I didn’t rent a car. It would have been difficult to find a place to park it for the night. Lots to see and do within walking distance. Lots of shopping from cultural crafts to Walmart and everything in between. Also many places to eat.

No guest allowed policy is terrible... buyer beware... Hotel is located near city center. its very convenient to all nightlife bars,marina and beach. all within a few minutes walking. perfect for shorts stay, transiting through, or late night arrival before checking into your main stay.
What i did NOT like is the no guest allowed in your room policy. so if your single Guy or Gal, you cannot bring anyone back to your room. This is more common in middle east countries not mexico.... I would not return...

I was truly amazed by the cleanliness of the place. Looks like the crap on the out side but clean. Rooms smaller than I anticipated but just a place to spend a few extra days. $61. I would stay again for sure.

We had a large very clean room on the second floor, basic but good. Our friends had mobility issues, so they were on the first floor. There was no ventilation, no windows. We had a refrigerator, they did not. They were not happy. Look at the room before you accept it.
Josefina
The area of hotel is perfect to be close by the marina. There is plenty of restaurants close to hotel and stores to purchase water and other snacks.
Mehmet
Location is the bomb!
A great no-frills hotel in the heart of everything that is going on in downtown Cabo. Walking distance to bars, clubs, restaurants and shops. The hotel is VERY basic. You get a bed and a fridge. However, it is super clean. The staff is VERY friendly and helpful. Definitely a great overall hotel
clayton
It is a property very centrally located to the restaurants and bars. It is a short walk to the beach. The rooms are quiet with functional AC and TV. The check in with Berta was very easy. She was very accommodating
Tamara
Great hotel.
This hotel was wonderful. Close to food, shopping, and walking distance to the harbor. Hotel staff was very friendly. We had a wonderful stay. We would definitely stay here again.
Peter
Its all about what you are looking for. If you want to be close to the harbor, i.e. the center of town then this hotel is great. Very clean and nice. If you want to be in an all inclusive resort on the beach then this is not the hotel for you. We wanted the flexibility to eat all over the place, and do tons of different things in Cabo and this hotel was an incredible value to achieve what we wanted. A for value and proximity to everything.
Brian
We were unable to stay at the hotel due to a major screwup with our flights. The hotel reached out twice to see if we are coming now that is very good customer service.
Eric
For the price this was perfect.

Short walk to the marina, but far enough away to be quiet. Good value.

Clean Place To Crash
This was a last minute trip. I booked this room because it was close to the marina, yet affordable. This is a no bells and whistles type of hotel. You get a very comfortable clean and nice room for a great price. If you want a resort with views this is not for you. If you want a place to crash this will work.

Near downtown
Cheryl
The room was updated and clean. It had great ac,tv,shower and bed/bedding. The down side was no elevator, no frig or microwave. Walking distance to Cabo Wabo, Salvatore’s and many shops, restaurants and Marina.

Edith
This hotel is located half a block from downtown Cabo. We interacted with the owners son he checked us in and all and they were very attentive to the arrival of our time. The room was very spacious, had fridge, microwave, A/C. Everything you need in hotel. We did not want all those inclusive hotels as we did not want to stay in we wanted to go out and explore the city. It was by far the best stay there, and staff very friendly and accommodating. Nice and calm didn't have to deal with any of downtown music from the clubs. We were walking distance from the clubs, marina, COVID testing, local shops, pharmacy, restaurants and the beach. I would recommend, hopefully can bring the rest of the family here.
Andrew
Clean and Friendly
Very well maintained, clean hotel in a great location. Will definitely stay here again when back in Cabo.

Excellent hotel for the money.
This is a budget hotel in a great central location which is well maintained and kept very clean. The front desk was always helpful and friendly, and did an great job getting laundry done and back to you very quickly. Overall this is exactly what you hope to get when booking a basic, inexpensive hotel, nothing fancy but everything works and is clean.

Really great location for walking to all the local restaurants/attractions like Tacos Guss (5 min), the marina (10 min), maro's fish house (10-15 min), the bars and clubs (10 min). The street Maria Elena is on is pretty quiet, no noise from the main street a block away. The room was very clean, daily house keeping, very friendly staff. low water pressure in the shower but the water did get very hot. Bar soap and shampoo are provided (no conditioner or body wash). This is a budget hotel and fully met those expectations.
No pool. minimum 1 flight of stairs to get the the 1st level of rooms.

We loved it! Everyone was very sweet, price was incredible, location was central. The room was comfortable and very clean. Our only gripe was the lack of water pressure in the shower but the temperature was great - plenty of hot water!

Nice place to stay, close to everything, good valu
It was nice, the only problem: Americans and their pot smoking in the room, and only three spaces of parking, but most of the guest don’t have cars so at the next day we had a parking space.

Room was great. Location was close to tourist attractions. Amentities good. Water pressure needs to be adjusted but other than that loved my stay.
Martin
The “hotel” only have 3 parking box, if you book here you are going to parking on the street with nothing of security or safe for your vehicle, I had to leave the hotel and go find another security, i dont use the room, the staff or the owner dont give me any option, or refoun because they have this political, this unnapointment its by safety and security, they need to put more parking spaces 17 rooms and 3 parking boxes its not a parking. I call the expedia team for a resolution, but they could not negotiate with the owner, just as I am, they simply shielding himself in their \"no refund\" policy. Here i only put my money in the trash, bad experience.
Verified traveler
Nice small hotel right in the middle of downtown. Small restroom but over all super clean room. Friendly personnel
Stephen
Very clean and quiet. Jesus is a great host and the maids made sure our room was kept very clean and tidy. Hotel is located in a perfect spot to access downtown and the marina. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a great price and a quiet place to stay. No pool and minimum amenities but the staff and price make up for it!
Verified traveler
This is a motel and not a hotel. Don't even attempt to book here. Once you get there and realize it is a hole in the wall, they will take your money and #Expedia will not refund it. It is nowhere close to a beach. Don't even try it, they ruined my vacation because I had to book another hotel. i WAS FOOLED BY THE PICTURE.
Jordan
Average hotel. Please do NOT rely on the provided photos, as these rooms are actually very small. No, this is not a biased review or experience. I was in Cabo San Lucas for 7 days with my girlfriend, and we chose this over others for the cheap great price and location. Well - you get what you paid for. We were near the streets which were extremely noisy at 6/7AM, and the rooms were just way to simple and small.
Verified traveler
Clean room, courteous manager, price, but........
I really wanted to give this place a very positive review. Manager was very courteous. Room was very clean. Price was low for being within walking distance of the heart of town. Just a couple blocks to Cabo Wabo or Giggling Marlin and not far from the marina where people are paying 5 times as much for a room. However their parking is minimal and unsecured. After being told it was safe I had things stolen from my motorcycle while it was parked right in front of the office, bummer. I could have stayed at a more expensive place with security and been money ahead. While I had no personal security problems, you do walk a block on dark city street away from the main tourist area to get back at night, some might not be comfortable with it. So, if clean and price are your main reasons to choose a room it's good, regret it did not work for me.

Budget hotel off beaten path
Clean and quiet budget hotel just behind marina but away from congested development of busy tourist area.

Nice hotel, centrally located
Very nice and accommodating, safe, reasonably priced and close to Marina and very central. I enjoyed my stay. Only thing I suggest is that drinking glasses be included in room.
