Nice place but smells like mildew

The hotel is quiet safe and quite pretty. Rooms are updated. The bed is soft and cozy. Sheets were very soft which was surprizing. Very nice blankets on the bed. Assorted thickness selection for pillows on the bed which is so nice. Glass on window is texured so you can not look out but lets light in.. weirdness and i didnt like it. But rooms were clean. There was a lingering smell of fabuloso. Overrated cleaner and im Not a fan of it. Honestly the only downside to this hotel is the smell of mildew throughout the building. If you have allergies or asthma id use caution here. When i say the smell of mildew is strong in the room im not exaggerating. If your not bothered by smells id say this place is quite a little find for the price.

Great hotel

The hotel was nice. You get more than what you pay for in my opinion. No pests of any kind. I didn't expect any but just to verify, there was none! Temperature from the a/c was excellent. Room size is average. It's very, very clean and the rooms smell so nice. All the staff are very friendly. Breakfast was either sausage links or sausage patties, an odd egg patty thing, and potatoes daily. There is also cereal, oatmeal and toppings and muffins, fruit and yogurt. To drink is coffee, water, milk and juice. Coffee is decent/good. The katin is private, quiet and pretty close to everything. The nearby beaches are beautiful. Definitely recommend El Jardin Beach!
