Overall, my stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While the location was convenient for exploring Viejo Vallarta and the Malecón, the rooms left much to be desired with strong odors and poor sound insulation. The service, on the other hand, was friendly and accommodating. The dining experience had its challenges for non-Spanish speakers but offered a decent selection. The facilities were adequate, and the price was somewhat reflective of the value provided.

The hotel is ideally located near the seaside, just a block from the beach and close to the Spanish Experience Centre and restaurants. The rooms were quite humid and dark even with all the lights on, but the service was top-notch with extremely courteous staff. The dining experience offered nice but not elaborate options, and the location was excellent for exploring the area.

7.4/10

The hotel had a superb location, making it ideal for exploring Viejo Vallarta and the Malecón on foot. Despite the tired appearance and lack of charm, the hotel's affordability in such a prime area was its saving grace. However, the dining options left much to be desired, with limited variety and higher prices for what was offered.

Rooms

7.0

My room, while basic and small without any extras like a radio or clock, was adequate for the price range. The balcony facing the street added a touch of charm to an otherwise plain space.

Service

8.0

The staff were friendly, although some issues with blankets and refunds arose. Nevertheless, they were attentive and polite, offering help whenever needed.

Location

9.0

The hotel's location was its shining quality, just a stone's throw from the Malecon and conveniently close to dining options, the beach, and essential services. Its value for money in such a premium spot was undeniable.

Dining

6.0

The dining experience had its highs and lows. While there was a good variety of food, the lack of certain basics like toast was disappointing. Prices seemed steep for the overall offerings, catering more towards a local clientele.

Facilities

7.0

The hotel facilities were minimal but functional, offering just enough for a comfortable stay. An average value for the price paid.
