Clean hotel in a nice location

We stopped for a night on our drive to Boqueron and it was the perfect 24h stop. The hotel was very clean, the pool fun for the kids and a nice beach nearby. The staff was really friendly and lots of stores nearby.

The staff was fantastic and we enjoyed learning all we could do around the area. The hotel was convenient to anything you need - food, shopping, attractions. It is an older hotel without many frills but ample if you just need a place to stay. We were presently surprised how quiet it was being on the main road.
