La Peor Experiencia

Muy mala experiencia. En mi vida volveria a hospedarme en este hotel/motel, ni aunque fuese gratis. Edificio en mal estado, la habitacion con olor a sucio/polvo, regadera con bello o cabello, sin papel sanitario, sin A/C. No inspira confianza. Hay mejores opciones por el mismo precio o un poco mas pero con entera satisfaccion.

Less than expected

The hotel was potentially good from the pictures and priced fair, however on closer experience I will not stay here again . The mattress was so old and worn out it was like a hammock. I booked the room because of the pool, but when I attempted to use the pool with my friends and her children they rudely asked for 25peso per person
