Excelente lugar, pésimo servicio y desayuno.
Pros:

La limpieza en habitaciones y en áreas comunes y la ubicación es excelente

Cons:

El trato del personal y la política de desayuno, es una ofensa que pongan que incluye desayuno y que solo sea un café con una rebanada de pan tostado.

Bien precio y estancia
Pros:

Muy amables, habitaciones amplias y flexibilidad para anticipar 1 hora mi llegada.

Cons:

No hay aire acondicionado pero hay ventilador de techo que suena mucho, amablemente fueron a revisar e intentaron disminuir el ruido pero no se logró mucho. La cama es matrimonial, aunque perfectamente cabe una king (eso estaría muy bien)

Excelente servicio, pero cama incomoda
Pros:

El personal es increíblemente amable. La señora en recepción es un amor de persona, muy empatica y servicial.

Cons:

La cama era super incómoda, el colchón se sentía tan duro como el piso y se me hizo imposible dormir así. Tuve que poner unos cojines del sillón que estaba en el cuarto para usarlos de colchoneta sobre el colchón y poder dormir. Mi esposo durmió en el sillón por este mismo detalle.
