Este hotel es un desastre.

Fue bastante mala la experiencia en este lugar, la piscina sucia con algas verdes, el restaurante y bar cerrados, sucios y sin ningún mantenimiento. Las habitaciones parecen de motel barato, sin agua caliente. Pagué por dos días seguidos pero solo aguanté quedarme un día, tuve que ir a buscar otro hotel. En general un desastre, no lo recomiendo.
