The room was clean. The staff helpful. The kitchen could be cleaner and better stocked. It would be nice to have real coffee cups and glasses. Non plastic plates and cutlery. Overall not bad.

Clean, A/C works, hot shower. The hotel is in an industrial-ish area however there is frequent inexpensive bus transportation to more touristy areas. Staff are friendly but (like most of Manzanillo) they speak very little English.

I loved the fact that the property is gated and secure. The rooms were very clean. However, the limited parking made parking an issue...especially if you are arriving late. Also, before we could leave, they had to 'inspect' our room .. and they WOULD NOT TAKE A CREDIT CARD. We had to pay cash up front for three nights.

Water pressure was very bad took me twice as long to shower. It would have been good if there was no bugs. And the curtains did t provide any type of privacy.

El servicio fue muy amable, pero el olor de las sabanas y toallas era como de aceite de cocina, como si no hubieran sido lavadas correctamente.

Bueno pero precio por estadía es alto

Sencillo pero limpio, aunque no aplicaron el descuento por temporada baja que era visible en recepción, el precio normal es muy alto para el tipo de establecimiento. No lo recomendaría para personas con discapacidad o movilidad limitada como en mi caso y tuve que subir y bajar escaleras.
