Hotel ok for very reasonable costs but invoicing is a mess. -will never go back and cannot recommend
Pros:

We checked in a bit earlier and this was no problem

Cons:

The man at the reception refused to provide a receipt for my payment, telling bthis has to be made by the third parety where we booked. This was booking.com and they never provide receipts - this always at any hotel comes from the hotel. This hotel seems to be an exception and therefore I will not get a refund for the hotel costs from my employer, since I cannot get a receipt from anyone! I also tried again by an online request to the hotel and booking - both refuse!
They are not willing to provide a legaly correct invoice/receipt

Pros:

No nos dijeron que tenia desayuno.
Ubicación muy buena, fácil de llegar, parqueadero bueno.
El personal amable.

Cons:

En la Habitación hace falta caja fuerte, el aire de la primera alcoba esta malo. Podría mejorar el aseo interno y externo.
La piscina se mantiene sucia, no nos metimos en ella por ese motivo.
