Es un muy buen lugar para alojarte su vas por unos días me gustó que al llegar te atendieran muy amablemente, lo único que puedo decir de este lugar que fue lo que no me gustó fue que sus aires acondicionados hacen mucho ruido y que deberian dar una pintada a todo el lugar por qué da miedo de noche y parece de película de terror pero fuera de eso es un muy buen lugar para estar unos días y tambien tienen una muy excelente ubicación ya que se encuentran muy cerca de varios lugares, por ultimo me gustaría mencionar que sus precios son muy accesibles a comparación de otros hoteles, es un lugar barato y excelente oara estar unos días excelente lugar.
