Decent for one day

Check in was super quick and friendly. Room was extremely clean and beds were comfortable. Only downside was that there was no internet near the rooms that worked.

Each employee I encountered was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. They were patient in answering my questions. I want to commend the women preparing the breakfasts. The food was good, hot and tasty! The restaurant was clean, airy and comfortable. The rooftop pool was an unexpected treat.

Okay stay

Emplyees were friendly and helpful. The hotel seemed a bit outdated and a bit noisy from the hallway. Beds were comfortable and good and location fine for a few nights before continuing travels.

A gem in the hotel zone

The outside of the hotel may probably fool you, but as soon as you enter the property, you notice a simple front desk and hallways, but good customer service. Something that should be mentioned is that the bathrooms that are considered public are aging and appear abandoned. But when you enter your room, you can see a room that is on par with large renowned hotels, clean and comfortable, I fell in love with my room. This hotel is undoubtedly a gem in the hotel zone and at a price that cannot be matched. It has a buffet restaurant, the food is good and the service is friendly. If you plan to spend the whole day out, this is the right hotel.

The glass wall that allows light in from the lobby the entire night is such a pain. There is no door to close the bathroom from the bedroom, zero privacy when it comes to using the restroom. Worst hotel I’ve stayed in for sure.

The front representative had a really bad attitude even though we were very nice. The room smelled really bad so we had to change our room. We saw a lot insects. One cockroach in our room.

Very "efficient" (what you get for the money you pay). Good location, clean, quiet (stayed here at the end of the busy season). Nothing to complain. Interesting approach, to convert a (closed) shopping mall into a hotel.

This hotel is good for a one night stay but not for a long week. Expect the minimum. Elevator and escalator werent working so we had to carry our luggages to 2nd floor. As other reviews it looks as if it use to be a shopping mall or offices. Very abandon look. We just stayed one night in cancun so the price was right, we walked over to the club strip (approx. 3 blocks away). Walking at night to the hotel was abit shady, but in the day its busy with people. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Room was clean.
