Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Prime location and really cute outdoor area and vibe, but room was outdated, tight on room and didn’t feel very clean. I booked a deluxe and I’m pretty certain I was put in a standard, they ended up moving me after night 2 because there was a cockroach. But the deluxe room seemed like it was still under construction… staff was nice enough to accommodate, just overall didn’t feel comfortable.

El lugar muy cerca de todo y céntrico. Personal amable y lugar limpio. Nada más ponerle atención al tema del parqueo, no hay. Por lo cual hay que estar lidiando con parqueos externos incurriendo en otros gastos.
