Todo estuvo perfecto a excepción del horario de check in que ofrecen en la página de booking
Pros:

La hubicacion cerca y comodidad

Cons:

Deben corregir horario check in en booking, realize la reserva porque decía que era a partir de las 00:00 horas y al llegar al hotel me dicen que era a partir de las 15:00pm. Estaba con una infante y como ya habíamos salido del anterior alojamiento me vi obligada a tomar la habitación, para no seguir buscando más opciones de alojamiento, guardar las cosas en recepción y salir del hotel a un plan b.

NO MUY AGRADABLE
Pros:

DESAYUNO ES BUENO.

Cons:

QUE AL CHEQUEO ME COBRARON EL MONTO DE LA ESTADIA, LA CUAL CANCELE YA QUE ERA LO PREPUESTADO POR BOOKING, Y AL OTRO DI ME LLAMAN QUE TENGO QUE PAGAR 201,000 PESOS MAS EQUIVALENTE APROX A 52 DOLARES Y PORQUE ELLOS SE HABIAN EQUIVOCADOS, OSEA NO RESPETARON EL MONTO ORIGINAL,QUE DECIA BOOKING EN LA RESERVA, ME PARECE QUE ES FALTA DE RESPETO AL HUESPEDE, RECLAME Y LA RECEPCIONISTA ME DIJO QUE SI NO LO CANCELABA ME TENIA QUE RETIRAR. ALEGANDO QUE YO NO ESTABA DE TURISTA, SI NO QUE YO VIVIA EN COLOMBIA, CUESTION QUE SE LO DEMOSTRE CON MIS ENTRADAS Y SALIDAS QUE TIENE MI PASAPORTE, PERO HIZO CASO OMISO A MI PLANTEAMIENTO.
