Superó mis expectativas
Pros:

La comida me sorprendió para bien. Tienen de tofo y en general de buena calidad, y desayunos buenisimos. El personal es agradable y las instalaciones están bien cuidadas. Tienen piscina climatizada interior para los frioleros. Superó mis expectativas

Cons:

Quizás faltaba algo de mantenimiento en los baños pero es algo normal salvo que estén recién reformados
