Hotel Mar Sereno and Suites (Puerto Vallarta, Mexico)

If you just need to rest your head for the night, and don't want to spend money on all the bells and whistles, then this may be suitable for your needs. Guests reported really economical rates for the rooms here.

Repeat guests were rather taken aback with the deterioration of the hotel from past days. Most guests were not prepared to use the pool, which was green and slimy, the restaurant was unavailable, and the building needed plenty of TLC, starting off with a coat of paint.

The property is advertised to come with free Wi-Fi in the rooms as well as in the public areas. Guests were quite put out by the fact that they were unable to get any connection whatsoever from the rooms, and only occasionally down in the lobby.

Visitors found that most of the appliances that were supplied for use in the rooms, like the stove, toaster and microwave were inoperable. The front desk may be able to bring up a little two-plate hot stove, however there were often not enough of them to go around.
