Pros:

La ubicación. También los combini de alrededor. Estaba muy bien comunicado con el transporte público

Cons:

Al llegar, había pelos en la bañera de los huéspedes anteriores.

Quisimos limpiar las toallas y seguimos las normas de hotel. Al llegar la noche no teníamos ni las toallas ni la cesta. Seguramente alguien se las llevó, entendimos que podía pasar. Mi hija fue a pedir toallas y explicar lo ocurrido y, en un primer momento, lo questionaron. Finalmente nos facilitaron toallas amablemente.
