Returning Stay
I had another enjoyable stay at this property. It's very convenient for the activities and food options I'm looking for. Hotel is clean and comfortable (but I wish the pillows were firmer!) Restaurant on premises is good as well. No issues during my time at the hotel.

The staff was amazing, kind, friendly and patient.
It's a simple hotel but it's right where you want to be near the beach, Malecon and zona romantic.
Ac seemed to be leaking in the ceiling and room was musty at the end of the week.

Noisy
On 3rd floor (2 flights up) without an elevator is somewhat challenging for seniors. Way too noisy.

What a great spot to find. Dog friendly, clean, and safe. Quick walk to ZR. Insider tip, ask for a room away from the main road. Also, be aware you can’t leave your dog in the room. Overall, this doesn’t take away from my trip.

Affordable hotel near the malecón. Loved how walkable everything is to the pharmacy and OXXO etcétera. Front staff is friendly. The room was just as described and had space to put my stuff down. Would stay there again.

Puerto Vallarta, perfect location
Great staff, great location, great bar and restaurant. It is a 3 Star hotel so not perfect.
I would like to see more and better towels. Also, freezer compartment in the refrigerator would be a bonus.
We will come back here and I would recommend this to my friends.

This was more than we expected with a wonderful location only a few meters from the Malecon with everything one could need an easy walk away. The facility is a little tired as it was built in 1958 but a great example of true Mexico. The staff were wonderful with a very good restaurant on site that also was excellent. We will definitely recommend as we were surprised at how quiet our room was on the side street. Front facing rooms would be noisy. We would certainly come again if we needed a short term place to stay in PV. Thanks to all that made this a pleasant surprise.
