Puerto Vallarta, perfect location
Great staff, great location, great bar and restaurant. It is a 3 Star hotel so not perfect. I would like to see more and better towels. Also, freezer compartment in the refrigerator would be a bonus. We will come back here and I would recommend this to my friends.

8/10 Very good

The main perk of this hotel is that is close to the malecón and the city center. Front desk staff was friendly and welcoming. The room was small and the AC made a bit of noise but overall for the price it was good.

6/10 Good

This is a solid budget hotel in a fantastic location, well worth the under $100/night price, but it’s not for everyone. Pros- Location- A block off of the Malecone board walk, tons of transportation, perfectly walkable, plenty of options. Staff- Staff if friendly, speaks English well, and are very helpful. Hotel dining - Solid in hotel restaurant, no room service, but easy access. Price- Nice sized rooms for the price. Cons- Noise- The hotel is well built, so no room neighbor noise, but PV has cobblestone streets and hotel is on a busy one. Most rooms are street facing, and vehicles are super noisy. This includes late night excessively load people and car radio noise, even very late at night. I used ear plugs every night. Odors- PV’s high humidity creates a moldy/mildewy smell, largely from the air conditioning unit. It dissipates fairly quickly, but if you’re sensitive, then this isn’t the place for you. Balcony- Some rooms have a shared falcon and is easy access to next room’s outside door. Door closure seems sufficient, but doesn’t have a separate lock. No elevator- two floor hotel with no elevator, not too bad, but not for everyone. Pool- The pool is in the court yard, and feels more like a part of the restaurant and not a separate space. No lounges chairs or anything, and not a lot of sun. Conclusion- Great option if you are budget hotel tolerant, if you’re not, look for other locations nearby locations at a higher price point.

Great staff and the rooms really are great. It's a convenient walk to Zona Romantica, the Malecon and the Coexist Bistro makes some really good food, although I only had breakfast there once. I stayed there in April 2023 and came back in April 2024 because I liked it so much.
