Pros:

Front desk lady was very nice. Held our luggage.

Cons:

Room not properly cleaned. WiFi and t.v. streaming was the worst. Car bombed a half block away and both convenient stores burned to the ground. Pool is pretty to look at but inside courtyard. Very cold and uninviting were it sits.

Pros:

El precio por la habitación no lo vale, el baño se veía sucio, no sé como explicarlo más, y no nos hicieron limpieza dos días, mal, solo valió la ubicación. Además mi pareja amaneció con piquetes de chinches de la cama
