la propiedad es común no considero que tenga algo destacable en particular. Falta mejor control el acceso, detiene mucho el vehículo y se tiene que bajar no para que lo atiendan. Es lo único de ahí todo está muy bien.

Una de las fundas de las almohadas tenia manchas que parecian sangre seca. Las sabanas estaban manchadas. Habia mosquitos. Muy ruidoso, hubo musica en un lugar cercano hasta la madrugada. Al estar junto a una avenida es muy ruidoso.
