Es un buen hotel para la clasificación que tiene, pero está muy retirado de los sitios turísticos para movilizarse a diario es costoso, creo que valdría la pena pagar un poco más y alojarse en uno más céntrico,

Apreciado Santiago Emilio,Muchas gracias por sus comentarios.Lamento que la ubicación del hotel no haya sido demasiado conveniente para usted. Cierto es que el metro esta justo en la puerta del hotel y hay muchos autobuses que pasan por aquí pero claro, depende de donde quisiese usted ir podría estar un poco más alejado.Espero poder darle la bienvenida de nuevo muy pronto.Un Saludo,

Was given an end room that had no windows. Room was next to neighbor hotel which was under construction. Heard hammering , drilling and scraping. Hotel management had to know that this was the case but still gave me this room. Two days the maid staff failed to have the room cleaned by 4PM. Management gave me several meals for the incovenience of having to change rooms, but for a 4-star hotel (!) this proved to be not a great hotel stay.

Dear Stephen,I'm sorry to hear about the challenges you faced during your stay. It's disappointing that the initial room had issues with noise due to construction from a neighboring hotel, and I understand that this impacted your overall experience. It's positive that the management took steps to compensate for the inconvenience.I am sorry that the overall experience was not good to you.Kind Regards,

Breakfast was delicious, the dinners needed more variety. Rooms were clean. The shower needed a mat, and the towels in the shower were ridiculously too high and difficult to get. Beds were comfortable. Going into the restroom, the door trim was not attached and slipped various times. The rooms need an informative booklet or letter, about the amenities. Sack breakfasts were delicious and excellently made. Thank you!
