Never pick this hotel

The hotel says that it's a 3 star hotel however it wasn't. The bedsheets were torn and very stain as the mattresswas old and sagging. The curtain rod was loose and the ceiling where it was placed was falling out. Floors were furty as well as the whole room a d the bathroom was in poor condition. This hotel is a 2 star at most so is over price for it's condition. We slept with our clothes. I will never stay there again or recommend it. Only the daytime bell boy was kind and helpful.

Avoid, avoid, avoid!

One of the dirtiest, most horrible hotel experiences ever! Room was filthy, corridor smelled of cigarettes and urine, toilet was dirty and the shower cabin full of mould. Absolutely disgusting and a complete rip off for what they charge. Staff were rude and completely unhelpful. NEVER AGAIN.

AVOID, avoid like the plague!

You could, actually, catch the plague in one of these rooms! This is one of filthiest, most disgusting hotels I have ever seen. And not only that: service was apalling too! I wouldn't know where to start, but I'll just say the hallways smell like cigarettes and urine, the shower is full of mould, the air conditioning covered in what has to be 10 years worth of dirt, the bedroom doors are broken and scratched. Seriously, the place is horrific. Take a look at the photos!

La indeferencia con el cliente es grande

No respetaron la habitación que había contratado.Cuando contratamos, llamamos al hotel y el personal que nos atendió para chequear la reserva no nos dio información alguna, y al llegar a la noche al hotel nos dijeron que no había habitaciones, le hechó la culpa a expedía y luego asignaron una diferente a la contratada como de favor. No recomiendo mientras no cambien el trato con los clientes.La habitación asignada tenia un ruido infernal por el aire que no se podía manejar de la habitación.
