Hotel anticuado, urge remodelación, parece motel.

Es un hotel anticuado, no lo han remodelado, las camas con malos colchones, se sienten los resortes por doquier, el área de la alberca es lo único rescatable, y por eso ponen tan pocas fotos, publican las fotos de los mejores lugares con los mejores ángulos, nuestra habitación parecía de motel, el baño igual.
