MUY BUENA ESTANCIA.
Pros:

EL HOTEL ES MUY COMODO Y ESTA MUY BIEN UBICADO. EL DESAYUNO ES VARIADO Y LA CALIDAD DE SU CAFE ES FANTASTICA.

Cons:

LOS ELEVADORES SON LENTOS Y RUIDOSOS. EL SERVICIO DE LIMPIEZA A LAS HABITACIONES NO LO HACEN DIARIO A PESAR DE SOLICITARLO.

Pros:

Upon arrival I noticed the bathroom were moldy specially the shower the bed had a horrible smell my husband immediately when to the front desk the clerk just said oh the room you want is $100 DLL more at this point it wasn’t about the money it was just how uncomfortable we were so we grabbed our stuff and checked out writhing 1 hour and my money has not been refunded still.

Cons:

The smell how dirty the room was.

It was a nice stay but the place needs a little care and tending to.
Pros:

Staff was friendly. Breakfast was great. Room was comfy. Close to attractions. Room had everything we needed.

Cons:

Could have been cleaner. Appliances didnt work and had to be replaced. Pictures on wall are crooked. Headboards have hand prints and smears from previous people. Curtain missing.
