We stayed here whilst in transit to Belize. We arrived by bus so had to get a taxi from the bus station to the hotel but this was fairly cheap. Before travelling I picked out a handful of hotels in the area and made a note of them. I had read several hotels reviews and they indicated that you could just turn up anywhere and get a hotel room very easily. So, on this advice we did not make any reservations. We arrived at this hotel first and were given a room straightaway. The rooms are very much like a Travellodge or Premier Inn (though a little bit more basic). We had air-con but the unit was a bit noisy so we didn't really switch it on for long. There were 2 comfortable queen size beds and a TV. The room was very clean and pleasant and adequate for what we wanted. There was no restaurant but a quick check on TripAdvisor found us several good options within walking distance. We found a really nice Italian about 10 minutes walk away.

The streets in Chetumal are well signposted so it is easy to find. OK room in a quite basic hotel, just about fine for a quick stopover. Reception just consists of the reception desk, no seating area, bar, restaurant or anything at all. Safe parking underneath the hotel behind the...

The streets in Chetumal are well signposted so it is easy to find. OK room in a quite basic hotel, just about fine for a quick stopover. Reception just consists of the reception desk, no seating area, bar, restaurant or anything at all. Safe parking underneath the hotel behind the reception. Rooms with two queen beds, a/c, tv, presumably only Spanish channels, never checked, no safe, refrigerator or coffee facilities. Uninspiring but safe neighbourhood with a good restaurant a block away and some tourist shopping in the block opposite. They did allocate us a room on the top floor which had the main generator or water pump above it which would have been just too noisy to sleep. Immediately returning to reception to ask for a change, the two reception people initially shrugged their shoulders. When I said ‘ok I’m leaving and not paying’ a new key was produced for a new room which was identical to the first, but without the noise, which proved acceptable. Yes its basic but it’s also clean which is fine for a quick stop.

We booked to stray here only to turn up late at night and get turned away as we had been moved to another hotel. We didn't mind being moved but we weren't told and had to get a taxi late at night when all we wanted to do was go...
