10/10 - Excelente lugar
Pros:

Todo. Ni una falla. La verdad que es un lugar excelente y vale cada dolar. El desayuno es completisimo, es el unico desayuno que vi que ponen salmón. La ubicación es muy cerca de muchos restaurantes y el centrito. Caminas una cuadra y tenes un paisaje hermoso del rio y el bosque.

Pros:

I really enjoyed the breakfast, which was of very good quality and well presented.

Cons:

On the downside, I found the price slightly on the high side, and we were also charged for parking. For the price we paid for our stay, I believe complimentary parking should have been included.
