We enjoyed our stay here. Great location with the bar down the road for live rock music at 666 and food across the street that had music too. The staff were super friendly, helpful and the AC was great. I’d love to come back when I’m in Cancun again.

Cute little hotel at the heart of Cancun's downtown. The staffs were really friendly and helpful. Lots of rock music playing late night around the area, absolutely loved the vibe! There is a pharmacy right across the street and a Walmart within 6 minutes walking distance, and both are open 24 hours! The beaches are a bit far though, but the ADO station is just a 5 minutes walk.

Pretty good location with good restaurants about half mile away. Beds were hard and lacking cushioning foam. Good AC. Second floor with no elevator option. No washcloths or hand towells. Loose toilet seat. Good price for a one night stay over on way to Isla Mujeres.

Stayed here for 2 days. My wife enjoyed it so much we stayed for 2 more days. Staff, food and garden around the pool were excellent. dining area by pool was an added plus. Housekeepers, cooks, pool cleaning guy, front desk all were pleasant and professional. My wife bought a giant blue monogramed beach towel as a Souvenir.

Don't hesitate, book this place if you're looking for a budget friendly option in downtown! We accidentally booked the wrong dates at our resort and needed a place for the night we landed. Our requirements were that it be convenient, clean and comfortable. This place blew us away! The room smelled as clean and fresh as a 4 star, the sheets and towels were embossed with the hotel name and logo, the rooms were huge with vaulted ceilings and they even provided plastic cutlery which was so unexpected but amazing since we grabbed some food on the way! As for the noise complaints, totally true. There is a heavy metal bar just up the road and the live bands are loud but they close at 11pm so unless you're an ultra early bird or have young kids this isn't really an issue. Also it's only weekends. You'll love this place, easy 5 stars review.
