Friendly staff and good breakfast. It’s a bit noisy, but overall, it’s a decent place to spend the night during a long trip.

The staff was extraordinary. When we accidently broke the rear windshield of our rental car backing into a parking spot, the staff sprung into action: helping to clean up the mess, taping up the broken windshield, and communicating with the car rental company for us in Spanish to secure a replacement car. And this is besides the hotel itself -- clean comfortable modern rooms, excellent wifi and nice breakfast, all for a great price.

Traffic noise. The room was front side and Windows are not isolated enough
