First we didn’t get the room we paid for, then we couldn’t sleep because an alarm was going on all night and nobody was on the property to figure out, next day they changed the room for the correct one but with the surprise that we didn’t have hot water and had to shower at 6:00 am with cold water because again nobody was there and nobody responded my messages! Cute place but they don’t have the most basic for guests like good communication care and hot water! No recomendable.

Almost all corresponded to expectations and we really enjoyed our stay, the surroundings, and staff friendliness. However, one important point did not correspond to expectations: I selected this place assuming from the photos that I'd have a sofa; this was important as I was going to have an online meeting in one of the days. Unfortunately, that did not happen and staff said it's because the photos online might correspond to different rooms and that one in specific was not available. I'd suggest to have specific rooms with such differences as different options.
