No heat

Hote was good but the heater was not working. Being in Alaska in Nov with no heat is unbearable. I had to sit in the lobby near the fireplace to type on my laptop. They eventually brought me some portable heaters but by that time I was ready to check out.

I reserved 4 rooms about 5 months before the Baja 1000. About 2 months before the race after all other hotel rooms were sold out they started sending messages through Expedia in spanish that they did not have rooms available for the dates I requested. I'd bet they then rented those rooms for double or triple or to friends. The great news is Expedia made it right. Thanks Expedia!

It's not revealed in the Travelocity property description that this is a hotel that rents rooms by the hour. The location is OK, but the smell of sewer all night was horrible. The bed wasn't the worst I've slept on, but close. The water pressure in the shower was very low and difficult to regulate hot/cold. No place to hang clothes. Positives? The room appeared to be clean except for the stains on the pillow cases. Noise was minimal.

I have stayed at this hotel several times with a guest. The rooms are fair for the price. But the rooms dont have A/C which is slightly uncomfortable on hot days.

para el precio es poco aceptable

el hotel esta en un lugar centrico sin embargo, tiene muchas deficiencias en las instalaciones, tuve un foco fundido en el baño, el aire del ventilador no se puede controlar independiente, así que necesitas tener la luz prendida siempre, no hay contactos en los burós y el baño se iba el agua del inodoro si no quitabas la tapa y ponias el flotador en su lugar

Definitely not wheelchair user friendly. The staff was trying their best to help us, and they had no first floor availability - I had requested that in my reservation and mentioned the wheelchair. They did all sort of tricks to find a room for us on first floor (they made one available last minute), since I wasn't able to cancel. I had to go somewhere else try to find something for myself (paid twice) and my driver had to stay there just not to loose the money. Of course, our room was a last minute thing and needed cleaning.

El establecimiento estaba limpio. El check in fue un poco tardado. Lo unico es que el baño olia muy feo. Tenia un olor a agua podrida. Deje el extractor prendido pero el olor era muy fuerte y no se iva. El agua de la regadera no era normal. El agua salia para los lados y casi no llegaba el agua directa.
