The room was clean and comfortable, you have to remember, you are not paying 75 dollars a night. It has a small pool and room service was as expected. I stayed there last year when the restraunt was open. It is a 2 minute walk to downtown, very convenient for tacos and beer, what else is there in san felipe... More

Both rooms where clean and basic with TV and AC. Nothing fancy. Maids always give me extra towels when I ask. Remember maids are paid poorly... More
