Horrible!Es imposible que te dejen sin agua caliente y que al llamar para saber cuánto tiempo tomará que regrese, simplemente te digan: "va a tardar" sin darte una explicación o tiempo de resolución. NUNCA SE HOSPEDEN AQUÍ, ES VIEJO, HUELE HORRIBLE, TIENE ANIMALES EN LA ALFOMBRA Y COLCHÓN, NI POR NECESIDAD LO TOMEN COMO OPCIÓN

The hotel may look very aged, but the room is adequately sized with a spacious bathroom. It is not centrally located, and the price reflects that. Overall, it's a good value.

El servicio es muy bueno, a mi me gustaría que mejoraran el servicio de internet (no siempre se tiene acceso y es intermitente), así como el servicio de tv ya que no hay acceso a canales no de paga y los de paga no son atractivos
