I’m giving this hotel a 3 because I didn’t do my research beforehand. I let my mom suggest it ….. so I am to blame for not looking into that prior! The hotel was clean, the grounds were well kept, the staff was kind. The negatives - the hotel is dated, their is no mini fridge, no safety deposit box, when it rained - it leaked via the sunlight in the bathroom, and the lack of water pressure in the shower (I couldn’t even wash my hair).

La habitación estaba sucia, nos dieron una habitación con 2 camas una de ellas no contaba con almohadas. Así mismo, habían toallas sucias dentro de la habitación, los jabones de la regadera estaban usados y tenían pelos. Nos cambiamos de hotel y quedaron en hacernos un rembolso que no han hecho a la fecha
