This hotel is for sure not a 4 star hotel. The room itself for the purpose of sleeping is fair, in the end you only need a bed to sleep; but everything else is a complete disaster. First off when checking in we were immediately charged for the rooms instead of the usual charged at checkout at every other hotel I have stayed in. I did not have my physical credit card with me (just my debit) so I requested to pay with my phone and the receptionist said that they did not take that kind of payment ; so I looked at her POS and it did have the wireless payment on that , she looked at me and said "yeah,it does not work", so anyways I paid with another method. We requested the WiFi/Internet information and the receptionist pointed to a little printed paper; we got to our rooms just to find out that the internet was not working. Came back to reception to ask about the issue and the lady said that their WiFi was intermittent since the morning and they were expecting the provider to fix it (it was 5pm by that time so they would not get any response evidently for the rest of the day). If you check the room photos seems ok, but taking a better look around I found dust in some places, the shower door hinges had mold on them (I scratched a bit with my fingernail),the bathroom mirror was big but had markings and seemed very old. The light switch was damaged and basically out of the wall a bit which may cause a shock hazard and mixed with the steam of the hot shower does not seem like a good combination. The TV in the room is a decent size (probably 30') but the image was awful, all grainy and with interference; the remote control was damaged and never worked and considering there was no internet, that TV was basically the only source for entertainment media. We also played some pool ,but oh my god the condition of the pool tables was horrendous; all damaged from the rain , dust, and old age. They were bumpy, dusty, some balls were not the correct ones (1 and 8). The area had mold on the walls ,indicating a poor maintenance on their part. The "included" breakfast was a plate of fruits , eggs cooked the way of your choosing , some refried beans with two tortilla chips on top and a dusting of some cheese, "pan dulce" and normal bread to spread with packets of marmalade and "grasa vegetal" which I wanna believe it was at least margarine (so no butter). We wanted a little more bread but the person in charge there did not understand our signal so we had to yell for more bread ,and the place had only two tables with customers , so it's not like the guy was too busy to Coke to our table.Btw we left after three days and the internet issue was never resolved; I asked each day about the issue and they said that they had reported it and we're waiting for an answer from the provider; I have never stayed at a hotel with internet issues for more that maybe half a day, so usually after we do all our activities the internet would be working if there was an issue which was not the case for this hotel. On the third day I asked about the issue again and another receptionist provided a WiFi network they had going there, but it evidently did not reach a few feet past the reception;so again no internet to the room. The location is not great either , it is fairly close to the strip mall , but not so close to the downtown area and if you wanna visit the downtown area, I recommend you take a taxi because walking down that street is not a very good idea as the road itself is narrow for a two lane traffic , the sidewalks are even narrower and walking downtown may take you around 20-30kin depending on your fitness condition ,but walking back up to the hotel can easily take you at least 40min,so for location not the ideal one. Whoever is in charge of giving out the stars in hotel standard ratings,should remove at least one star from this hotel. I will never return to this hotel again .
