Muy caro para todo lo que ya no dan...
Pros:

La ubicación es espectacular y el personal igual, muy atentos.

Cons:

Ofrecen aire acondicionado y no lo ponen por "la huella de carbono" hasta cierta fecha, creo que Mayo.. Y claro la habitación pequeña y como un horno.. no había ni un pequeño ventilador, ofrecen canales Digitales y por cable y tampoco, no hay cafetería tampoco y alguna cosilla más..
