Pros:

La ubicación.

Cons:

Las paredes son muy finas, se escucha absolutamente todo entre habitaciones, no son oscuras del todo, entra bastante luz por lo que te obliga a despertar temprano si sos sensible para dormir.

Hotel with nice restaurant at oudoor space
Pros:

Staff was very nice (lady on reception and two ladies on breakfast). The room was very clean and had everything what we needed and the outdoor spaces of the hotel were the best. We had a picnic in one of the tables in front of the lake surrounded by ducks (:

Please seal the louvers to close completely
Pros:

The staff were excellent, very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The cold air that blows in the windows in the bathroom. I was unable to shower as it was 1 degree in the bathroom. I changed rooms to a room upstairs for closed louvers however the wind still blew in. The small heater in the bedroom was not sufficient at those cold temperatures and the size of the room.
