Para descansar ests excelente y el precio es bueno. Solo que sí está muy encerrada la habitación y se penetra la humedad

Buen lugar para pasar la noche, solo que los costos son algo diferentes a las recomendaciones, tiene un costo de $480 obviamente fue matrimonial e individual en una habitación (+$100 de depósito, por si ensucias sábanas, toallas, etc, pero te lo regresan a la hora de que te vallas, van y checan la habitación y si no la ensuciaste te los devuelven, pero si la ensuciaste se quedan ellos con el dinero, lo cual sería algo irrelevante ya que estás pagando por una habitación, y un servicio en este caso, está de más que cobren un "extra" ) Por una parte, la experiencias de vista es excelente, se ve bastante cómodo el lugar, más aparte existen demasiadas restricciónes y horarios, no es un lugar demasiado apto para niños. De lo contrario, es un excelente lugar para ir a descansar

Un excelente lugar para descansar, no es elegante pero, es muy tranquilo y razonablemente limpio, el personal es amable y atento... Lo que es para mí más importante, silencioso, hay Wifi y todas las comodidades para quien no sea chocante, hay tiendas de conveniencia y lugares de venta de comidas varias a unos pasos además de Coppel y Elektra cuenta con aire acondicionado que funciona muy bien estoy muy satisfecho con este hotel en todo sentido.

Solo de paso... Si lo que buscas un lugar donde conservar tus maletas, darte un baño caliente y descansar. Es ideal. No recomendable para familias grandes, nada lujoso, es solo para pasar la noche. Le falta bastante mantenimiento, pero por el precio es justo.

Es un hotel que se encuentra en mezcales yo llegué a hospedarme el dia 23 de enero del 2020 y se me hizo un lugar económico la noche me costó $350 y muy limpio, la verdad lo recomiendo ampliamente, hay Internet y en la entrada te obsequian el café que quieras, si quieres viajar a Nayarit vayan a este hotel porque esta en la mera esquina donde pasan muchos camiones para sayulita, punta mita y hasta puerto Vallarta.
