Horrible
Cons:

El lugar está viejo, descuidado y sucio. El precio por ese hotel esta muy por encima de lo que debería ser. El mobiliario viejo y el baño olía mal. No lo recomiendo para nada!

Poor
Pros:

Close to the sea, but that beach front was not the best in PdC. See weed, dirty. The hotel was ok, but minimized equipment. There is nothing in this hotel, max the balcony is ok.

Cons:

Minimized equipment, dirty bathroom, old furniture, dirty curtains, poor wifi. Was not my best choice. Noise neighborhood bars.

Pu jamais, même si on me paye pour y aller
Pros:

L'emplacement.. et encore.. les bars autour scrap l'ambiance relaxante

Cons:

Le propreté c'est un gros 0. Moisissures, fuite d'eau et la musique du bar en face est vraiment forte. De plus la clé est nécessaire pour débarrer la porte de l'intérieur et on a pas le choix de la barrer pour sortir sinon elle ne reste pas fermée.. résultat j'ai du retourner à l'hôtel pour désemprisonner ma mère.

Pros:

Hotel bien ubicado a pasos de la 5 avenida y el portal Maya, con vista al mar, le falta algunos detalles de mantenimiento, pequeños que hace la diferencia.personla muy amable y lo bueno q cuenta con agua calentita y fría en el Hall de entrada.la cama super king muy cómoda,.

Cons:

Por ejemplo que la canilla de la Bacha estaba toda oxidada , al igual que las barandas externas del balcón.
Y arriba en la pileta estaba con mucha suciedad de palomas.🥴sería lo único por decir.
