Clean hotel in a nice location

We stopped for a night on our drive to Boqueron and it was the perfect 24h stop. The hotel was very clean, the pool fun for the kids and a nice beach nearby. The staff was really friendly and lots of stores nearby.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff was fantastic and we enjoyed learning all we could do around the area. The hotel was convenient to anything you need - food, shopping, attractions. It is an older hotel without many frills but ample if you just need a place to stay. We were presently surprised how quiet it was being on the main road.
