El hotal está ubicado en una zona bien céntrica a dos cuadras de los shopping. Tiene muchas opciones de restaurantes por la misma razón. El hotel tiene una antigüedad de 10 años. Si bien las habitaciones son amplias y cómodas el mantenimiento no es el adecuado. Es una pena porque el hotel es muy lindo. Sin embargo, tiene una hermosa piscina y el desayuno es muy bueno y completo. La atención del personal es excelente.
