The staff was friendly and the breakfast was good. The room was clean but needs to be renovated, especially the bathroom as it was old and stained but not due to cleaning issues.

This is probably the cleanest hotel I’ve stayed at in recent history. The staff was great, everyone had happy and welcoming attitudes. I stayed here before traveling to Mexico through CBX. This will definitely be my go-to place when I need to spend the night here.

Excellent option, my only point is that it is in an industrial zone that is far from everything if you want to buy something to eat, for example. On the other hand it is very clean and quiet.
