Es una buena opcion para poco presupuesto, lo mejor es su ubicación y la verdad la calle esta super tranquila, no hay problema de musica y tambien la quinta avenida y el muelle estan literal cerquisima. Todos son muy amables

Horrible
Cons:

El lugar está viejo, descuidado y sucio. El precio por ese hotel esta muy por encima de lo que debería ser. El mobiliario viejo y el baño olía mal. No lo recomiendo para nada!
