Buen lugar de paso

Excelente atención en la recepción, limpieza y orden en la habitación, todo como en las fotos, sin embargo con un poco de olor a humedad. La comida me pareció muy costosa y mala, no la recomiendo, me dieron unas papas fritas transparentes de tanta grasa que tenían con un sabor amargo, ningún otro acompañante y la carne pasable. Les comenté y ni las disculpas, me sentí estafada.
