Room was old. No A.c . Was sweating every night. It was a horror. Last day i saw a mouse running on the hallway, i almost puked. Several times i turned on the room service, housekeepers will not come until i call the office. I felt there were racist. Environment was perfect for tourist but i wasnt impressed with the staff overall
