Not WoW, but good!
Pas de WoW mais bien!

The hotel is located in the heart of the Colonial Zone: perfect for experiencing the action, discovering history and culture, and shopping. Two favorite cafes nearby: Le Barista and L'Affogato: Wow! The hotel is clean, smells nice, and the staff is courteous. The rooms are small and without balconies. There's a lack of storage space. Housekeeping is done well every day. The breakfast buffet is acceptable, but often some items are missing. Besides the breakfast buffet, you have to pay for bottled water. There are no coffee makers in the rooms. Since the hotel doesn't have a pool, you have to go to the other Hodelpa hotel to access one. It costs US$40 per person for access to the pool and a selection of drinks and food. The nearest beach is in Boca Chica: beware of taxis!!!! And beware of the beach staff!!! $$$ You have to negotiate everything beforehand. A reasonable round-trip taxi fare to the beach is $80 USD. No more. Some people on the beach sell piña coladas for $50 USD (you'll find out when you get the bill), so always ask the price beforehand. In the end, not amazing, but good!

L’hôtel est situé au cœur de la zone coloniale: parfait pour être dans le rythme des événements, découvrir l’histoire, la culture et faire des boutiques.
Deux cafés coups de cœur à proximité : Le Barista et L’affogato: Wow!
L’hôtel est propre, sent bon et le personnel courtois. Les chambres sont petites et sans balcon. Il manque de rangement. Le ménage est bien fait à chaque jour.
Le buffet du matin est acceptable: mais souvent il manque des trucs.
Outre au buffet le matin: il faut payer pour avoir de l’eau en bouteille. Il y a pas de cafetière dans les chambre.
Comme l’hôtel n’a pas de piscine, il faut se rendre à l’autre hôtel Hodelpa pour avoir accès à une piscine. Il faut payer 40$ américain par personne pour avoir accès à : la piscine et un certain nombre de breuvage et nourriture.
La plage la plus proche est à Boca Chica: attention au taxi!!!! Et attention au personnel à la plage!!! $$$ Il faut négocier avant pour tout tout tout. Un prix raisonnable de taxi aller et retour à la plage est de 80$ américain. Pas plus. Certaines personnes de la plage vendent des pinas colada 50$ américain ( tu l’apprends avec la facture) alors toujours demander le prix avant.
Au final, pas de WoW mais bien!
