Pros:

el área social, aunque no pude hacer uso de ella , pero volvería en otra ocasión con más tiempo

Cons:

hay pocos locales comerciales en la cercanía , no es culpa del hotel, pero como recomendación podrían vender bebidas y algún tipo de snacks para no tener que salir del hotel a comprar, ya que el restaurante estaba cerrado

Aceptable
Pros:

La ubicación y Dalila la conserje , muy atenta y simpática

Cons:

El hotel está un poco venido a menos, le falta modernizar. Nos tuvieron que cambiar de habitación, en la que estábamos habia un ruido espantoso en las cañerías, que no podías dormir.
El día que teníamos una excursión, y teníamos que salir bien temprano, pedí que me llamen y la conserje de la noche no nos llamó, ni por teléfono ni golpeando la puerta de la habitación. Por pico perdemos la excursión y no pidió ni disculpas.
