To start when we were escorted to our hotel room there was water on the floor from the mini fridge door being left open. This hotel is old & so some things you expect to have aren’t gonna operate the way we expect in 2024. The phone inside the hotel room didn’t work and so no calls could be made to the front desk. An employee told us that many of the rooms are the same way because the cable phone lines are old. When I went downstairs to talk to the hotel manager she was quite rude and sarcastic, We had stayed in this hotel 22 years ago and my wife wanted to take a trip down memory lane, bad idea. The staff are just not professional and of low integrity which is what you would expect at an outdated hotel like this. The best part of the hotel is the location with respect to the Zona Romantica area which is old town Puerto Vallarta. My wife & I went out to the malecon to have some drinks at Señor Frogs which was great and soon after departing Señor Frogs our 14 year old son who had stayed back at our hotel room called us to tell us that a hotel employee had just entered our room with a key after knocking on the door a couple of times (we strictly forbade our son from answering the room for any reason) the hotel employee who was wearing the brown guayabera shirt quickly left the room upon seeing our son without identifying himself at all. That was at 9:30pm which is obviously not hotel room repair hours (too late) and no excuse for entering a room without permission.

The check in experience was subpar. The room itself was supposed to be a “double room king bed”, instead it was a single room with two twin beds, because they were out of king beds???
