Staff was great. The property is a bit run down and the pool was not very clean but a lot of people were swimming in it. The price was really great for 5 nights and we were happy with our choice in the end.

Fernanda Lizzet

Disliked: Amenities
Se veían que no limpian las habitaciones, cuando llegamos a bajo de las camas había envoltorios de huéspedes anteriores y un cepillo, las regaderas no tenían agua caliente, las reportamos y nos dijeron que tardaba un rato en salir y nunca salió, la perilla del baño ya no servía bien y un familiar se quedó atorado en el baño y no podíamos sacarlo y tuvieron que romper la perilla, la televisión no prendía, ya que el cable no llegaba al conector y esa el único conector cerca, el personal si trataba de ser atento, pero si nada de lo anterior los afecta, porque casi no están en el hotel, está bien
