Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Stay was pretty good. Room is pretty small, however it has all you need. The bathroom situation was alright, however not all 4 rooms on our floor were occupied. The area was fine, not the best not the worst. Getting back at 22 felt safe enough as there's plenty of people around. At first we didn't receive the door code and it took a couple days to get a response. Though it was probably a one time thing, as our other requests got answered reasonably fast. Still not great.

Me tome un par de veces con el personal y muy amables, ademas las habitacoines impecables y quizas mi unica incomodidad fueron las almohadas. Deberian de cambiarlas por unas mas comodas.
