Me cobraron más de lo acordado en la reserva
Pros:

Las instalaciones están bonitas , pero al llegar me cobraron más del precio acordado

Cons:

No me gustó que el precio era de 350mil pesos y cuando llegue al hotel me cobraron 407 mil pesos, me cargaron un supuesto impuesto, esas situaciones hacen ver una publicidad engañosa ya que uno espera pagar lo que se acuerda y no que le digan que hay que pagar de más
