Es un hotel de bajo costo. Las habitaciones son buenas para el precio lo malo es que siempre que voy hay una bola de tipos en la mera entrada a las habitaciones y es incómodo pasar con tu chica y sentir las miradas y los cuchicheos. Ojalá prohibieran a ellos estar ahí.

Las habitaciones están sencillas,esta comodo el lugar y se ve que tienen un buen ambiente laboral porque las veces que he ido (de noche) hasta yo me río de lo que dicen excepto con el recepcionista es un poco pedante y grosero...

Muy limpio, el jabón ni hacía espuma y el shampoo es de baja calidad también. Mejor llevar sus propios accesorios.

Muy buen servicio, siempre ha sido mi hotel favorito! Han incrementado sus precios pero aún así creo que vale la pena! Lo único malo es que antes se podía quedar uno toda la noche en una habitación los fines de semana y ahora solo permiten eso entre semana, o solo 4 horas :(

Property is well maintained. The atmosphere is quiet and peaceful. Privacy and decreteness is respected by staff and other renters....The only flaw is the guard dog that constantly barks throughout the entire night...hard to sleep if on the far end of the rooms
