MEJORABLE
Pros:

La decoración

Cons:

La ubicación, teniendo en cuenta que soy motero llegar al hotel es muy complicado, tienes que aparcar lejos y volver andando al hotel.
Por otro lado hacía mucho calor, el baño estaba desactualizado y era incómodo.
Sin duda, cuando vuelva a viajar por esa zona buscaré mejores alternativas

De época
Pros:

Hotel muy acorde con el pueblo. Te transporta a otra época. El personal encantador y muy amable.
Vistas muy bonitas también.

Cons:

Tal vez la antigüedad del mobiliario no es lo más práctico pero es lo auténtico del hotel.
