Es un lugar sencillo pero confortable, cuando tú intención no es pagar por un hotel de 5 estrellas. Estacionamientos limitado. No lejano pero hay que utilizar transporte para lugares de esparcimiento.

El hotel es pequeño pero está cerca de la playa y el malecón, además el personal que nos atendió fue muy amable, llevábamos auto se nos descompuso y ahí nos ayudaron a encontrar un mecánico. Muy bien servicio y precios accesibles.

Cómodo como hotel de paso, ideal para trabajadores y turistas con poco presupuesto. Económico aunque los baños pueden no funcionar bien, depende la habitación. Aunque no está en la playa tiene buena ubicación. No acepta pago con tarjeta.
