La ubicacion merece, es comodo!
Pros:

La ubicacion es inmejorable, las instalaciones muy clasicas pero chulas, es como teletransportarte. El personal muy amable. Todas las mañanas tienes cafe, te y bizcochito en el lobbie gratis.

Cons:

Si bajo la puntuacion es porque hay detalles a mejorar en la habitacion, hay remates en las paredes que habria que reparar y el espejo del baño estaba roto y le habian puesto celo…. Tambien encontramos una cucharacha enorme un dia en el baño.
