Para Dormir
Pros:

La ubicación.

Cons:

El area de piscinas requiere una remodelación uirgente, terrible el hueco lleno de tierra al aldo de la piscina. Las psiscinas con agua clara pero azulejos quebrados y se vce cñaramente moho verde. No dan ganas no de meter los pies. No hay sombra. Esra muy mal.

Buena estancia
Pros:

El desayuno lo sirven es una soda que está a unos 25 metros del hotel, muy rico, variado, muy buena la atención en dicho local comercial. Tiene una amplia zona ver atrás de las habitaciones, con un pasillo muy acogedor

Cons:

Que no tiene mini bar, hace falta más con las altas temperaturas, y lo otro, son las cerraduras de la habitación, por lo menos mi persona no está acostumbrado a ese tipo de cerradura

Hay antros más baratos
Pros:

Irme.

Cons:

No hay agua caliente (se vende como hotel de 3 estrellas...), está en mitad de un polígono industrial y que no se te ocurra ir un lunes más tarde de las 3pm, porque te quedas sin cenar (anuncian que tienen restaurante, que en realidad es un convenio con un restaurante de fuera del hotel).
