Bed bugs
Cons:

We found a bed bug in our room within 2 hours of being there. We immediately disposed of the bug, vacated the room and notified the staff. Our stay was 7/23. As of writing (8/22), we have yet to receive a refund despite multiple attempts to contact. I wasn't even going to write a review because we only found the one bug (though transparently we didn't stick around very long to find any more). But now that we haven't received the refund I feel the need to post to warn others. This caused not only great anxiety for the weekend but we had to scramble to find another hotel at 2 am.

[WARNING] HOTEL PAYMENT TERMINAL WITH CARD SKIMMER
Cons:

I was defrauded by the hotel. My credit card was cloned by a card skimmer when they requested my card to pay the security deposit on check-in.
When I was checking-in, the staff requested a credit card with my name to pay a security deposit. I understand this is a common practice in the US, however I thought it was weird when they said they didn't accept phone tap-to-pay and that the card HAD to have my name — especially because most cards nowadays don't even come with any information on them for security purposes. I got the only card I had with such information and tried to pay using tap-to-pay (NFC). A card that I only use for emergencies (like this) i.e.: I haven't touched that card for months. The payment terminal requested my password, which I typed. However, it said the password was wrong and simultaneously I also received a notification by my bank saying someone tried to pay using the wrong password. I found that really weird and checked my password to see if something changed, but nothing had changed. I tried typing again very carefully but got the same error both on the terminal and the bank notification. I was then "forced" to insert the card. The payment went through without asking for any password.
Next day, early in the morning, several purchases of hundreds of dollars were made one after another on american websites I don't even have accounts like Facebook Marketplace, thus confirming my suspicions about a possible card skimmer of the day before.
Shortly after, during the checkout, I informed the staff about the problem and request an invoice (or similar receipt) of my stay and it's charges, but I wasn't able to get any. The staff dodged and deflected the conversation. Thankfully, not to the hotel, I was able to get my money back through the bank.
I think their malicious intend was encouraged because I'm a foreigner in their country, on a stopover, with very few tools to manage this situation.

Personal poco proactivo e instalaciones antiguas
Pros:

Incluye el desayuno

Cons:

Aunque las habitaciones son grandes, todo el hotel está muy viejo. No está lejos del aeropuerto pero tampoco al lado y está en medio de la nada. Pero lo que menos me gustó es que íbamos con un bebé pero sin silla de coche y no pudimos usar el shuttle, ni desde recepción nos ayudaron a buscar ninguna solución esperaba más ayuda por su parte para conseguir un transporte que pudiéramos utilizar con el bebé aunque lo pagáramos nosotros.
