The room was beyond neglected! Furniture was not only outdated but broken. If you like rustic furniture and tube televisions then is your thing. The door’s latch didn’t even work properly. The place is okey, good for a few pics, but you can tell it needs some good maintenance. The ceilings in the bathroom were moldy. I didn’t even stayed there, went for a different hotel.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The pictures were not representative of the property itself. Everything was very run down. One of the beds was broken. Just an old building that no one seems to care to do upkeep or repairs on. The breakfast we paid for in the restaurant was the best part of our stay!! We were very disappointed and no one seemed to care.

I traveled with 7 girlfriends, booked 4 rooms for 1 night each room. All 4 rooms needed to be updated, first room the door knob didn't work. Second room, wood floor was in a very bad condition, toilet paper holder broken, several light switches loosen. Very old beds and linens. Old and noisy AC mini split unit.

Margarita

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The whole experience was terrible. Had we not arrived so late after a long journey and with a toddler, we would have found more suitable accommodations. Getting to our rooms was a nightmare. We were a group of 4 adults and 1 toddler and we were given rooms across the property from each other. We were given horrible directions to the rooms themselves which were very far from the reception desk-- ultimately the front desk attendant had to personally walk us to the room because it was so far and complicated to get to. The rooms themselves were horrific. Immediately upon entering, I noticed large insects on the ground, massive flying wasp-like beetles and dead flies on the floor and near the windows. The bathroom floor was completely wet because the toilet was leaking. The floorboards were coming apart to the point that if you didn't pay attention, the raised faux wood panels could cut your toes off. The bathroom was riddled with mold and revolting sewage smells emanated from the drain in the sink to the point I didn't want to use the water to even wash my hands. I used bottled water I had brought with us to brush my teeth. The room was hot upon arrival but at least they had a loud but working AC unit in the room. The room door lock was wobbly which didn't make me feel safe especially considering how far the room was. The property could be better lit especially considering how remote the rooms are in this "castle"-inspired property. The pool was gross so don't count on that.
might be a nice view if you could see out of the dirty window
moldy restroom in bad state of disrepair
unfinished floorboards
bad condition of property

El hotel es muy muy antiguo, los muebles, las tv, las camas, pero me imagino que así es como la experiencia, aunque no está de más que pinten las habitaciones y el agua de la alberca es fria. Está un poco retirado del centro así que si no llevan auto, no es muy recomendable porque te gastas mas en taxis. En general, es buena opción para dormir.

Todo estuvo bien, pero ese día hubo un evento de una quinceañera por lo que les mencionamos que nosotros íbamos a una carrera al día siguiente y que necesitábamos descansar y nos comentaron que terminaría a las 11 por lo que no vimos problema pero al final no fue así y terminó a las 2 de la mañana y no pudimos dormir, es importante que hagan la mención de estos eventos si uno se hospeda es porque va a descansar.
