Pros:

There was mold in our room, which made it difficult for me to breathe as I have asthma. We were supposed to stay three nights, but ended up having to leave as I couldn’t breathe properly. showed pictures to the front desk and tried to get a refund of the one night, but unfortunately was not able to. Expedia also tried for me to no avail.

It was quiet and yet in the middle of a busy walkable area. Great breakfast. Great wifi reception. Beautiful gardens. Ask them to help you understand how to control the shower temperature.

Pros:

No hay una buena relación entre calidad y precio. Al menos a mí me lo vendieron como un hotel de 65USD en Pana y es de unos 35USD. Ruidoso, deteriorado y sucio. E personal bien y los desayunos bien.
