El lugar es muy bello con un diseño hermoso en los cuarto, pero necesitan un técnico o alguien que arregle algunos detalles como que en un baño la puerta no cierra o la banca que no se dejaba de caer, además hay una habitación que sólo tiene como tres canales teniendo en los demás la programación completa, en general está muy bien y los que atienden son muy amables
Tiene buenos precios, el lugar es limpio, acogedor y es limpio
