Me gustó mucho el servicio del personal, las instalaciones muy cómodas y limpias. El desayuno fue muy bueno y abundante. Lo único que no me gustó tanto en que en la habitación que estuve por lo menos, tiene unas ventanas justo enfrente de la cama, con una cortina que no tapa la claridad, lo cual me hacia despertar bien temprano
