Satisfecho
Pros:

La atención y el precio fueron buenos, reservé con tiempo, y el desayuno también estuvo muy bueno

Cons:

Todo estuvo bien por las dos noches, pero me hubiera gustado que asearan mi habitación, quizás estaba muy saturado el hotel, pero muy contento con todo.

Pros:

Clean and comfortable beds. The bathroom was big and well stocked. The person who checked us in was very nice.

Cons:

There were a lot of construction trucks in the parking lot making parking a bit difficult. The hotel is also a little difficult to access.
