Overall good stay!

God location, clean. Small room but well enough. The room only have wooden windows and bad lock. You could hear all guests quite well and did not feel secure with the bad locking of the windows. Breakfast included but at a restaurant at the main square. Breakfast ok but only sugary coffee included and no drinks for the children. We had to pay extra for other type of coffee and they expected tip as well for a breakfast included in the stay. The breakfast included felt a little bit as they only wanted to earn som extra on the guests.

Muy buen lugar, el servicio de limpieza y personal excelentes. Volvería a hospedarme aquí. Me dejó mucho q desear el tour que ofrecen a la laguna, pero se que es muy aparte del hotel y que era más económico que el que ofrecen a los alrededores.

Me entregaron la habitación antes de la hora, gracias por eso pero estaba sucia, la ropa de cama tenia mocos y cabellos y hasta un mosquito muerto grande, fue un batallar para bajarle al baño todos los días y la regadera tiene una coledera muy vieja con una tapa que tiene hongos, esto se puede arreglar con $1000 pesos de inversión. El personal fue super amable y considerado, excelente servicio de ellos.
