Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was very comfortable and was in a good location and near parking which you had to pay for at an additional cost but good price, I would recommend. If you are travelling by car I would advise to park the car first and then go to the hotel because you cannot go infront of the hotel with your car but it is in walking distance.

La atención del personal y la ubicación excelente.el mobiliario anticuado pero funcional. Bien en general, habitación amplia y baño básico, con bañera. No hay parquing pero hay uno público muy cerca. Cama aceptable y limpio en general. Lo que no me gustó es el olor que había en la habitación, deben echar algún ambientador horrible..
