No toallas en la habitación. Ya que las lavaron no las enviaban al cuarto no tenían personal. Se terminó el desayuno y no lo repusieron pronto. Y al hacer check out no había nadie en recepción. Marque como 4 veces para avisar que deje la llave y que me había retirado, nunca contestaron el teléfono. El hotel está bien general pero si necesitan mejorar el servicio
