Un hotel pequeño y básico que cumple su función sin lujos. El precio no es muy elevado y las instalaciones están en buen estado, aunque ya necesitan cambiar los colchones, al menos en las habitaciones que conocí. Cuenta con aire acondicionado y una alberca pequeñita para la cantidad de huéspedes que puede albergar (40, según los dueños), tiene servicio de cocina donde puedes preparar tus alimentos y un pequeño comedor. Está ubicado a pocas cuadras de la plaza de San Blas, por lo que está cerca de los bares y restaurantes del centro, pero lejos de las playas. La atención es buena, aunque si necesitan agua caliente para bañarse, tienen que pedirla varias veces porque "se les olvida" ó "se apaga el calentador con el aire". Aún así es un buen lugar para quedarse, si lo que buscas es un lugar sencillo, con los servicios básicos.
