Precio versus calidad y comodidad no lo vale
Pros:

Camas comodas y habitaciones espaciosas

Cons:

No, estaba sucio con cucarachas, aunque nos cambiaron de habitación, las mesas de noche sucias. El baño con pelos en el lavatorio.
No hay desayuno cerca del hotel.
Nos hicieron pagar por la aplicación booking y estaba más caro por la app.
Algunas personas quedaron sin desayuno porque el recepcionista no explicó bien los precios, hizo una confusión y ya a las 9pm solo queríamos dormir.
No había instrucciones donde se desayunaba
