Facilities were good and hotel was nice.. the staff specifically eduardo sanchez was very rude and condescending. Simple questions seemed to make him mad and talk to me and my family like we were dumb. Will not be booking there again until he is fired.

It was a nice place to stay no major complaints. My only complaint is we were told there was a fast pass for $40 to purchase the morning before we left to make our trip across the border a little faster. (We checked out at 5:30am) and that morning the guy said it was $45 dollars and we questioned the guy at the front desk about it being $40 dollars and then he just told us the government website was down and we couldn’t get one (he seemed frustrated and mad about us questioning him) This delay forced us to cancel our flights and rebook. It takes on a good day 2 hours to get across the border and with the fast pass about 15-30 minutes to get across. (Just know if your an American and pay in American currency you will be over charged by everyone you do business with and things are a lot cheaper than what you might pay for in the state. It’s a tourist place where they know they can take advantage of you and overcharge you.)
