We were 1st put in a room that is seldome used, not serviced by the elevator and gave the impression you were in a 3rd world country. Stayed night, complained to Expedia, they had us moved even though they were fully booked. Be careful when booking, confirm your room is serviced by the elevator, that way you can be sure your room is good.

It had a bed and air conditioning which was all I needed. Only one block off the main shopping and eating area. About what you would expect for 40 bucks a night in downtown Playa.

The property needs some renovation to make it a bit more modern. We were given stained towels upon arrival. The area is on a very busy street with traffic sounds all night. I appreciate the fact that the hotel is near shopping and many dining options.

My husband uses a cane to walk, the Elevators were not working the 6 days we were in hotel.
Other than that the Ladies at the Front office were very hospitable, friendly & very nice.
Maria is an awesome singer. We loved her voice when she sang at the restaurant next door!
I highly recommend this Hotel!

Hotel was great for what we needed … a place to sleep! Could use some minor maintenance! But all was good! There was a sewer smell in room when we arrived but it was just the cover on the shower drain was not put on! Once we did that the smell went away and did not notice it again! Again great place for what we needed! Would stay again! Close to 5th avenue which is fun! And close to beach! Price was great!

The restaurant downstairs pumps music till the early hours, you can hear people in the streets. Aesthetically it’s nice but not worth the headache you’ll end up with

Great little place for the price. Close to 5th avenue but was not loud at night. Beds were firm yes, but comfortable. Cleanliness and water pressuer/heat was good.
My only recomendation would be for the restaurant to get a longer playlist. I loved the little music wafting through the courtyard as I sat on the balcony on the first day. By the 5th day of hearing the same songs 3 times a day it was kinda annoying.
That said, I've stayed at other places in Playa and this really hits the mark for quality, quiet and price. Would stay here again.

According to Expedia and my reservation, this property has a gym. There is no gym. There has never been a gym at this property.
There was a strong smell of cleaning chemicals in the room when i entered. I got a headache. Used ceiling fan. Better in 2 hours.
Mold on the bathroom ceiling above shower head. Otherwise it's a nice property in a good place.

Bad service, all the employees say talk to the manager the manager but they’re never there.
Broken elevator, yet no signs of fixing it. We were there over a week and no-one worked on it.
Cleaning workers walked into our room when there was a do not disturb sign.
Towels are a big issue. The towels they give you are stained, but when they exchange them they say you caused the stains and want to charge you.
I wouldn’t recommend staying here.
