Hotel La Ría Playas

Hotel La Ría Playas

4/10 Poor
"Tienen que mejorar en la limpieza de los cuartos, cambiar los colchones, se hunden y no se puede dormir tranquilos, uno amanece con dolor de espalda, los aires acondicionados no funcionan bien, la comida tienen que mejorarla, y la limpieza de los baños que queda por la piscina totalmente puercos, sucios y apestosos, terrible ese hotel no volvería NUNCA, ni lo recomendaría a NADIE."
