A gem in the hotel zone
The outside of the hotel may probably fool you, but as soon as you enter the property, you notice a simple front desk and hallways, but good customer service. Something that should be mentioned is that the bathrooms that are considered public are aging and appear abandoned. But when you enter your room, you can see a room that is on par with large renowned hotels, clean and comfortable, I fell in love with my room. This hotel is undoubtedly a gem in the hotel zone and at a price that cannot be matched. It has a buffet restaurant, the food is good and the service is friendly. If you plan to spend the whole day out, this is the right hotel.

This is a hidden gem. It is right across the Rui, but you don't pay that price. It is not a luxurious hotel, but the price is just about right.

The room was big and quiet with good AC, we only had one cockroach, and the location is close to the heart of the hotel zone! There is also a beautiful beach right nearby (just walk through the fiesta they’re nice).
Overall very happy with our stay

This has been a fantastic hotel that is now past its prime but still very comfortable, inviting and intriguing. The staff are helpful and the morning breakfast buffet is very good.

The hotel is a converted shopping plaza. Room wasn't the same as in the picture but good for what we paid for. The room was so sanitized, that the smell of Javel was in the air for the first day. No windows in the room with the exception of the frosted display window in the passage way of the hotel. All in all, not too bad for the price. Located across the street from the RIO Palace.

Our reservation was cancelled at the lobby without any explanation. Instead of 3 nights we paid extra and only where able to stay one night. But this was an extremely low level stay.
Be aware - this is an old out-of-business shopping mall, that was turned into the hotel/hostel.
Rooms have no windows, bathrooms are inside the room, no soap, no towels.

HORRIBLE
It's a underground mall they turn into a hotel. we had no windows. It felt like a cave, so we couldn't breathe.
The shower is connected to the bathroom. There's only a curtain to divide the bathrooms from the bedroom. And I hate having to take cold showers period the water would impeat at all period definitely the worst hotel i've ever stated.

The property has only one thing going for it and that’s location . It smelled in the room . It was run down and terrible signage . We were lucky the cab driver knew where it was. Never had hot water whole week we were there . Room was cold and no heat as we got some bad weather . Our room was clean but never got hand towel and had to ask for bath towels . In saying that we found the staff friendly and helpful with requests . It’s only good if you get a great deal to stay as close to everything otherwise don’t book here . The place is literally falling apart . We were at highest season Xmas week so we got a great rate compared to other very overpriced hotels . Also we felt safe walking everywhere .
