Un lugar económico que brinda los servicios esenciales para una estancia cómoda y sin lujos. Las habitaciones son sencillas pero limpias, equipadas con lo básico, sin duda ofrece todo lo necesario para una estancia corta y cómoda; me gusta la idea que puedas cocinar y así poder ahorrarte algo de dinero. Gracias por la atención de recepción que está al pendiente en todo momento.
