Made me feel awkward and unwelcome. Room was in bad condition as was the rest of the hotel. In disrepair. Located in a bad area with no safe parking. There were no toiletries or water. However they did provide them when requested and "the man in charge " arrived. The room was way over priced. It was $60 per night. I stayed in much much nicer places for $25 per night. Evidently I was wrong for assuming Expedia had some standards regarding hotels they list. ##### James Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Wilmer Omar 28 Nov 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Terrible ##### Wilmer Omar Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Andres 16 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service El personal muy atento ##### Andres Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Raúl 13 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Menu básico de desayuno. ##### Raúl Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Daniela, Loxahatchee 11 May 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Las condiciones en infraestructura no son las mejores, pero la zona y ubicacion lo valen.
