True Mexican no frill hotel
The hotel is what it is...charming Mexican hotel.Tile rooms, small bathrooms, firm beds and pillows...all very clean. Smily staff. Pay the extra and get an oceanfront room....the views are wonderful, especially the sunsets.

Our stay at El Emperador was excellent. We booked a suite overlooking the ocean. Everything from dining to nightlife is walking distance. The manager Gervacio and staff were excellent. The restaurant downstairs was fantastic. They give guests from the hotel a 10% discount. If you're looking for a budget hotel with great service you can't go wrong with this hotel.

Overall: A Really Nice Stay
Enjoyed my 7-night stay at the Emperador. I had good internet strength for my entire stay, and that’s really key for me. The hotel was quiet (for the most ) and I enjoyed that. I was ocean front on second floor farthest away from the pier. A visit in the slow season is good for a quieter visit to Zona Romántica, I think. Given this property’s location and amazing views, I’d love to see them invest in updated televisions and room decor. The restaurant downstairs was way overpriced for the quality of the food.

Fundamentally what this hotel offers is a beautiful view from the ocean front rooms. It is clean and the staff are mostly helpful. However, the property suffers from slow Internet, a horrible stench from the shower drain, tattered cushions on the beach chairs and a requirement that the beach chairs be put away by 3 PM.
