Room Quality
8
Rooms described as spacious with large bathrooms, nice TVs and Wi‑Fi; some notes that the motel shows signs of age.

8.5

Estadía en Rotex
Pros:

Me gustó la ubicación

Cons:

El espacio era antiguo, no estaba limpio debajo de las camas (lo que me hace dudar de la limpieza en general). El personal no fue amable
