Pros:

El personal es muy agradable, la ubicación buenísima

Cons:

La limpieza dejaba bastante que desear. En las esquinas se veían las pelusas de suciedad, las cortinas tenían manchas, y no se había limpiado a fondo desde el último huésped (había unos calcetines de alguien anterior debajo de la cama). Lo demás perfecto, pero sí apuntaría este tema

Cons:

I didnt like the shower head, its spray hit me in the head, so lucky I took a shower cap. it would be good if it was a movable head.
