Poor customer service

Totally loved it! Safe, colorful, & full of plants
Absolutely love to this place! Although not a five-star, it's full of charm, old Mexican wooden doors, colorful tiles on the stairwells, and tons of plants and flowers. A four-story mango tree in the central Courtyard just tops it all off. Would absolutely stay here again! Felt safe with my daughter traveling, and the people were wonderful!

this is right in the heart of everything from the beach, shopping, great food, clubs excursion pick ups. Can be a bit noise at times given vendors are around and people drive crazy but this is a great way to access everything. A little hard to communicate with the staff if you don’t speak Spanish (which I don’t) but they are super nice

We really liked the property. the only complaint we had was charging us for a couple towels with very little stains. never in the 28 years Ive been going to PVR have I been charged for such a small stain( or any stain on a towel). Not appropriate!!!

This is an older hotel but well maintained and in a perfect area to expore Puerto Vallarta main area and the romantic zone. So impressed with the maintenance on this hotel. Everyday they were painting or polishing floors.

It's very close to the Malecón and dining areas are all local and abundant. The small inconvenience was that we can hear the stores opening and closing their gates below us.

I really enjoyed my stay here. Cute Mexican style hotel. I had the luxury king suite and it was huge with a good size kitchenette and hangout area. The roof top pool/patio was a nice place to hangout, convenient location to the Malecon and mercado. A/c worked well, hot water in the shower takes a min to get working but then was a good temp and water pressure. This is a busy area so you will hear all the fun from the streets but I found the noise of the a/c helped drown it out. My only complaint was the bed and pillows was a tad stiff compared to what I like. But that's a personal preference. I would definitely stay here again!

The staff at the property were very quick to respond to requests and were friendly. The complimentary coffee, tea and bread in the mornings was a very special and appreciated touch. Location is walking distance to Los Mortos Beach, Zona Romantica and endless dining options.

Nice little hotel.
For an older hotel it's pretty nice. It would be suitble if you had a small family and wanted to hang around Puerto Vallarta for a week or so.
