Excelente ubicación de este hotel, despues del huracán Otis le empezaron a dar mantenimiento, aún les falta mucho porque el baño, el clóset y su sistema de luces es muy viejo. El tipo de la barra si no eres extranjero, no eres de su agrado y te atiende de mala gana y las toallas de la alberca te da las más desgastadas. Las recepcionistas, muy amables. La seguridad del estacionamiento es buena y no tiene costo extra como otros hoteles.

A downtown boutique hotel in the middle of Acapulco, I think is a little small and not much impressive, looks like a old fashion hotel.

Acabo de estar ahí de martes 3 al viernes 6 de febrero. Encontramos la habitación super limpia con aire acondicionado la TV grande, agua caliente y sobre todo sin ningún bicho, animalillo ni nada por el estilo. Había demasiado extranjero pasándola super bien en el bar, bailando, cantando y disfrutando de verdad. La verdad me encantó el hotel y además solo cruzas la calle y está la playa. Al rededor hay bastantes lugares para comer de todos los precios. Lo único es el personal de recepción porque todos parece que están amargados. Solo los de recepción. En marzo de nuevo estate ahí.
