10/10 Excellent
"The location and price are amazing so you get what you pay for. The staff are friendly, but the hotel desperately needs updates. Beds are firm (and one in our room that should be replaced), but this is typical in Mexico. No SDB is in the room. Lots of drawer and closet space for clothes."
