Desepcionante
Pros:

La ubicación

Cons:

La habitación con bastante humedad y la alfombra sucia. La puerta de la haiatacion abría y cerraba muy mal había que golpearla para poder entrar o salir y lo más decepcionante fue el desayuno (elegí este hotel por sobre otros por el desayuno) anuncian un desayuno continental o americano y literalmente solo había café bastante malo por cierto ( no prendo mucho pero vale la aclaración) para hacer pancake (mi esposa no consume harinas) cereales para niños esos de colores y leche fría.
No había fruta, yogurt, huevos revueltos o duros , carne o algo similar, algún queso untable, mermelada, pan integral o galleta, jugo ,etc. he ido a varios hoteles en ciudades remotas y pude disfrutar de estas cosas simples en un desayuno. Tuvimos que ir al supermercado a comprar para desayunar.
Estaba tan enojado que no saqué fotos del pobre desayuno que había disponible
