"You can’t beat the location and functionality of this hotel.

The room is ..."

Cute little town, very walkable with benches and solid restaurants choices. We went to Blue Fuji, Chili Garden, Salvatores and GNP pizza. All were good choices! If we go back I'd check out Tenoch Mexican, Real Italian Gust and Modern Pastry for sure.

Arrived at 3pm to check in. Had too wait 45 minutes to get a room cleaned. It wasn’t clean. Bed was lumpy looking and carpet wasn’t swept. Only one little bar of soap in toilet area. Limited seating for breakfast. We loved the pool but side dooropen
