On checkin we found a somewhat accommodating reception by the manager who ended up moving us to the building next door. At the time I was impressed as the building next door was much nicer than the Alma and Mar building. From there it kind of went downhill. They only provide one key and they have almost no reception presence. We ended up getting locked out of the hotel late at night when I had to leave the key with my son in the room. I called the building. Their response was “wait until another guest comes and then sneak in the door behind them.” After 40 minutes I ended up having to do just that. Second issue: There was NO internet in the room and not only did my daily reminders of that fact to hotel staff go unanswered, the manager actually started yelling at me on the third day of my request. I know. First world problems right? lol anyway. I pushed my flight back a day but I decided it was more pleasant to pay more money at another hotel AND repack AND move hotels AND unpack again rather than extend my stay for a single night. that pretty much says it all.

What I don’t like is that after 9 pm there was no water. I tried to contact the hotel but never got an answer back. Bedsheets were stained. What I did like is that it was close to everything.

This is a classic old style Mexican hotel. The bright colours, authentic tiling, & interior was pleasing. You can stay at a mc-resort and not know what country you are in. Not here. Must like Mexican music blaring, have patience with low water pressure, and the occasional smell from plumbing. Located off 5th avenue where people congregate. Food in the area is diverse and good. 5 mins walk to Maritsa beach which has a sandy bottom.

I knew because of the price this would not be a 4 star hotel Which was fine but what wasn't fine was the fact that the first room they put us in smelled like sewer and mold so I asked to be moved. Once we moved to different room that had a balcony thank goodness so we could leave the windup open to elevate the constant smell of the sewer. There were nit blankets for the bed only a top sheet, no hot water in the bathroom sink and when we asked for more towels we were told there weren't any because the maids had not brought them back from the laundry. When we are going to the beach we asked for beach towels which the info on the hotel said were included we were told there weren't any. The only thing good about this hotel is the location it's right in the middle of the tourist strip on 5th other then that it's not worth the price.

THEFT from housekeeping. I hate to leave a review like this, but feel like it's important to note. Everything was good here, until I realized cash was missing from my bag on the last day. No one was in my room except housekeeping. I understand I should've put my cash in the safe, but still, there is no other explanation than someone who worked there stole. I'm certain. The hotel wouldn't do anything about it, and it definitely put a damper on my stay here.

The room was dirty. The sheets and towels were stained. The sheets did not fit the bed. No blankets or covers, only a thin sheet. Low water pressure. The shower did not drain well. When we complained to the person at the front desk she tried contacting the manager but there was never any answer. We never got blankets and only got replacement towels if ours ccx were wet. They refused to give us extra towels to use as bed covers since there were no blankets. The front desk ladies tried to help but management was totally uncooperative. One of our worst hotel experiencies anywhere. Also one morning there was no city water and the hotel cistern was broken do no water in the morning. Despite our many attempts at contacting the manager we never heard from them. I would not recommend staying here. The location is great, but not worth putting up with the abuse and at these prices.

They gave me the wrong room type. three people in one queen room. They count the towels. The room reeked of asbestos stink. They walked us into a occupied room after waiting all day for a room. They charge for extra towels. They never changed or clean towels after staying for 6 days, I had to ask the lady to switch out my towels and I guess they really inspect your towels because they waited until the day of my check out to tell me that I owed two hundred pesos ($10.00) for my dirty towel. The older man at the reception was the worse customer service I have ever had. He literally went to the room brought the towels to the desk counted them and threw it at me and told me to go wash it!!! he was yelling at me in front of everyone. I cannot believe we were treated this way I am appalled. I told him I purchased a towel when we arrived to go to the beach which that would make it "my towel" the man charged me twice and called me a liar. It left such a bad taste that I would never go back and I suggest no one ever stays there!! unless you want to be humiliated, called a liar, robbed and taken advantage of.
