Descent
Cons:

The clerk directions to parking when I was already in the parling lot. She had me circle the building 3 times to end up in the wrong lot and building. The air conditioning was not on in my room. There was an oscolating fan.

Buen personal , pessima limpieza.
Pros:

El personal era muy acogedor y las instalaciones muy limpias

Cons:

La limpieza del bano terrible, encontramos un interior de mujer ( calzón ) en la cortina de la ducha, terrible.
El desayuno podría mejorar un poco dado esta el precio que se pago por la habitación

I will recommend 98%
Pros:

I really enjoyed my stay in this hotel, is room was very clean and comfortable. The staff are so nice and very friendly. The zone is okey, not too far from the downtown perfect for families. plus I really like the bathroom bc is very bright and to me the illumination is the best!!! and they have tv where you can watch the World Cup (I don't really remember the channel but it was between the 22 and 25) . I stayed here for 3 days for the World Cup and it's totally worth it.

Cons:

I didn't enjoy the breakfast bc Im usually a picky eater and they had scrambled eggs, bread, some fruit and cereals, coffee and juice (basic/normal breakfast). My family did have breakfast and they said that it was okey (good for the price), you always could go somewhere else if you want. (the cinnamon s rolls were REALLY GOOD). and I also pay $30 for packing which It wasn't that bad but I could be cheaper IDK.
