la propiedad es común no considero que tenga algo destacable en particular. Falta mejor control el acceso, detiene mucho el vehículo y se tiene que bajar no para que lo atiendan. Es lo único de ahí todo está muy bien.

Pues que esta anunciado como hotel y no lo es, es un motel y pues que cuando se me pidió una tarjeta la registre, creyendo que con ella podria pagar y me dijeron que solo recibian efectivo,el cual obviamente no llevaba en ese momento. POr lo qjue decidí no quedarme con estas caracteristicas y reglas

Una de las fundas de las almohadas tenia manchas que parecian sangre seca. Las sabanas estaban manchadas. Habia mosquitos. Muy ruidoso, hubo musica en un lugar cercano hasta la madrugada. Al estar junto a una avenida es muy ruidoso.

En relación precio y servicio esta bien y la ubicación esta bien porque tiene buenos accesos lo único que ya hay que cambiar los aires acondicionados y remodelar los baños que ya empiezan a deteriorarse, pero el hotel esta en buenas condiciones.
