Excelente, plácidamente estuve tods los dias
Pros:

Excelente el cambio del sitio desayuno, había estado antes cuando quedaba en el 14, excelente cambio, piscina mejoro al 100% en inmobiliario, el piso 14 muy bien con todas las instalaciones de salas de descanso, de menu y bebidas, excelente y el gym lo dotaron muy bien en aumento de maquinas y diferentes, el anterior espacio era pequeño y poco dotado

Cons:

Como sugerencia, en la ducha es importante colocar una barra para permitir apoyo de la gente adulto y adulto mayor incluso niños cuando se esta en la ducha, esa seguridad es super necesaria y más aún cuando vi excursiones por ejemplo de mexicanos todos adultos mayores.
