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.

The lady was very kind, even though it was 2-3 hours before check-in. She gave me the room so I could change, leave my things, and go to the beach. Everything was great and close

Check/in was great and the attendant was friendly and helpful. Everything was clean and the A/C worked well. However it was difficult to find the entrance which was around the side of the building itself, which is a converted mall. In essence, there is no natural light inside the room and no views to any grounds as such. But there was a good number of lights inside the unit itself.

For the money, the rooms were large, beds were king sized, and all clean. The hotel has little amenities but there's a cute coffee shop with a great breakfast on the backside. My teenage sons loved exploring the old hotel

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.

Great location, decent hotel

This hotel was very close to the beach and a lot of tourist attractions which made it really easily accessible. reception was very good for arranging tours for us but they didn't even have an extra blanket when we asked for one. due to heavy poor on the day the roof was leaking in the hallway. the gym was not really in a working condition. Room was spacious and clean but would have preferred carpet floors instead of tile.

This is a by the hour sex hotel, pictures of half naked women to decorate the room. An abandoned shopping mall and the room is a store front with glass walls and a curtain to shield you from the outside viewers. Lady at the check in counter was asking us to fix her bra and coughing all over the front desk staff. Not a hotel. Not even a hostel. I don’t know what this is.

Property majority of the time does not have hot water. Does not have security safe. Hi placed bathtub, no security in place. Loud at night, bed covers with holes. Water pressure unstable , the stench of weed was coming into my bathroom with a hole they covered up with a portrait photo. Holes in the roof of the hallway dripping down into passage ways. The only thing that worked here was the air conditioning. Hotel is in ruins, literally falling apart.
