Un lugar normal para pocos dias

El sitio es limpio y tranquilo. No nos gustó que el ventilador no servía pese a saber el establecimiento por lo que dejamos la ventana abierta para que nos diera aire pero los mosquitos nos picaron. Las vías de acceso son horribles, calles sin pavimentar y los autos bajos no entran facil o se golpean.
