Buena relación precio con lo que ofrece, muy buena ubicación, habitaciones no muy lindas
Pros:

Buena ubicación y buena relación precio con los que ofrece el hotel

Cons:

La habitación es muy pequeña no se ve muy bonita que digamos, la ducha del baño que nos toco es muy incómoda, tiene la ducha pegada a una columna lo que hace incómodo el bañarse, cuando estuvimos se fue el agua todo el día en todo el barrio y el hotel no tiene reservas, nos dio un galón de agua para “limpiarnos”, si resolvió a medias pero mejor tener tanque de reserva
