The place was sparkling clean. The view was awesome because you could see the mountains in the morning as well as the military training center with soldiers walking around and doing their thing. Giant Mexican flag hangs in the background. Very picture worthy view! The price is unbeatable.
There are nice restaurants literally steps from the entrance. The supermarket is walking distance.
The only significant issues that I need to mention (especially if you are American) is that if you are used to air conditioning, you will not like this room. It’s unbearably hot during the daytime. There are 2 fans, but they will not be enough. You might also sweat at night. The water doesn’t stay hot during showers, water suddenly turns ice cold & then goes back to hot (it’s torture). Lastly, they do not have a water filtration system, so you have to lug gallons of water to your room so you could brush your teeth & hydrate (the host provides 2 small water bottles). Good news is that there is a minimart downstairs, so you don’t have to walk far.
