Nos gustó mucho el hotel, las habitaciones amplias, muy limpias y todo el personal muy amables. Recomendamos que pongan un restaurante aunque sea con un menú pequeño. El único pero es que las camas no están muy cómodas, espero las logren cambiar.

2/10 Poor

Está ubicado en un barrio no tan lindo, las instalaciones viejas y descuidadas, la habitación descuidada y en intramos una araña enorme que ni los del hotel querían matarla, el colchón parece de cartón y el ventilador no daba aire debido a la altura que estaba. Definitivamente no recomiendo el hotel

La propiedad bien, sin embargo está a 5 cuadras del centro y la zona es muy popular, no insegura pero no es el centro histórico, no le invierten en báscios como pañuelos desechables, ganchos de ropa, ganchos para toallas, aunque los accesorios de aseo son finos els falta eso, no ofrecen servicio de bebidas ni alimentos aunque tienen un lugar agradable frente a la alberca, personal amable, estacionamiento limitado pero gratuito, pdorán tener mas servicios.

Limpio pero en zona fea y mal internet.

El hotel está a 4 cuadras del zócalo pero en una zona bastante fea. El hotel y el cuarto están limpios pero la cama está muy dura y se siente barata, el internet es muy malo y en lugares inexistente.

Buen hotel

Buen hotel, cercano al centro. El internet no funciona en las habitaciones por lo que tuve que trabajar desde el lobby. El estacionamiento se llena y cómo yo salí muy temprano, tuvieron que despertar a un huésped para mover su vehículo y yo tuve que mover otro porque la persona de la recepción no sabía manejar.

Cerca del centro, pero en la noche calles oscuras, daba miedo caminar por esa zona. El estacionamiento es muy pequeño, apenas para unos 10 autos

hotel caro para el nivel del hotel

El Hotel es bueno a secas. Es caro para el nivel de servicio que da, por ese mismo precio me he quedado en mucho mejores hoteles. esta como 30% mas caro de lo que un hotel de su categoría debería cobrar.
