Very Good

The lining had marks of bugs. Walls of the bathroom with blood stains. Limited breakfast. At least free coffee. Staff is helpful but location is very unsafe specially at night. Rooms without curtains. Incredibly bad this place. Never felt so insecure

Creo que solo una persona atiende de lo máximo en ese lugar. El resto nesecitan un nuevo trabajo creo. Disculpa por decir La chica de Argentina, pero no recuerdo su nombre. Ella hace un increíble trabajo con cada cliente que llega. Te da consejos y te ayuda en lo que puede.si no fuera por ella la estadía no fuese sido igual.
