The best place to take a rest for a half day at nitgh

Tuve la oportunidad de visitarlo.. me gustó! es económico, las habitaciones están limpias, hay agua caliente en el baño, en general el hotel se encuentra en buenas condiciones, si se ve que le dan mantenimiento.. lo único que si sugiero es que arreglen el interfón de la entrada!!! no se escucha muy bien y la recepcionista se molesta porque uno pregunta varias veces en que habitación le tocó!! por no escucharse bien!

La neta está sencillo, ya se le nota lo viejito en los muebles y las sábanas, pero pues pa’ salir del apuro cumple. No es wow, pero tampoco terrible. El trato estuvo equis, no me tocó mala onda ni nada, pero tampoco algo que me hiciera querer volver. Hay mejores por la zona si le subes un poquito al presupuesto
