If you are looking for an affordable place to stay while in Vallarta look no further. I stayed at this very small, quaint, family run hotel for two weeks in December, 2002. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. This was my 6th time in Vallarta and my 1st time every travelling on my own. At all times I felt very safe in this little hotel and the staff there were the best I've seen (even in 5star hotels). They knew you by name and would always take the time to talk to you and ask you if you needed anything. The rooms were clean, had a TV and fridge. (Ask for a room with a balcony)The location is great! About two blocks from the municple flea market and within walking distance to some of the best restaurants and nightlife in Vallarta. The only down fall....no pool. Not a big deal, the beach is just a short walk away. This gives you an excuse to stop at the ice cream store on your way, definitely the best I've ever had. (only 9 pesos)All in all, I would recommend this hotel to the traveller who is a little more experienced, likes the beach and loves a great price and family hospitality.
