We stayed at this hotel for two weeks in February. It is very well located as it is any easy walk to collectives, beach, Quinta ave and Walmart. The hotel was clean, recently redone room with rain shower head. We had lots of hot water and excellent wifi. Includes was a continental breakfast. This consisted of three slices of three different types of fruit with a yoghurt sauce and a sprinkle of granola, slice of toast with butter and jam, fresh orange juice and coffee or tea. For an extra few pesos you could get eggs sausage bacon or omelette. The staff at the hotel were helpful and polite. The room had two beds with clean white linen that was changed daily. It did have a desk and chair and well appointed closet with a security safe. There was a pool on the room with a few sun chairs but we did not use so can not comment. We had a balcony which looked out to a courtyard area so it was quiet. Drawback: for me the bed was way too hard did not bother my spouse but really I had difficulty sleeping on it. No toiletries supplied other than soap at sink and shower which is fine with me as I bring my own. Could use a place to put your suitcases as we had them on the floor. Walls plain some art would be nice. Some balconies had patio sets ours did not. This hotel may be a work in progress I would return but bring a blow up mattress....lol

“a solid 3 star”

I booked the Sahara at a very good price via ORBITZ. I liked the location ( 8th Street and 15th Ave)- 3 blocks to the Walmart and 3 to the beach.

I booked the Sahara at a very good price via ORBITZ. I liked the location ( 8th Street and 15th Ave)- 3 blocks to the Walmart and 3 to the beach. The front desk people were very friendly- my room was simple but clean; TV, hot water; mini fridge; a room safe ( with a deposit for the key); and a typical hard Mexican mattress. The rooftop pool was an added plus feature. I went up about 4 PM and it was HOT !!! The included continental breakfas was at a restaurant close by. It included a small fruit plate, 2 slices of toast with butter and jam, fresh squeezed OJ, and coffee. If you are lucky you can get a second cup of coffee. I supplemented the breakfast with some yogurt, papaya, and cookies that I bought at Walmart. The bath towels were a decent size and relatively new. They should also include hand towels.and maybe a wash cloth. WIFI was sporadic in my room. The signals were weak and went in and out even if you were connected. The best connection is in the lobby.. Some people have commented that the other building is a bit better. I think that because of the low price I paid I could only get the older room. Overall- I would recommend the Sahara for a budget traveler.
