Todo bien el staff perfecto pero si van a alquilar un cuarto deberian estar mas pendiente ala limpieza del cuarto y por ejemplo me esposa se resbalo ya que habia un tubo roto en el lavamanos y habia agua pero no se veia a plena vista la presion de agua de la ducha no era nada buena habia que estar pegado ala pared para poder bañarse esperamos al staff haber si jos cambiaban de cuarto pero ellos arreglaron la situacion .. pero creo que deberian el maneger eatar mas pendiente alos q limpian y las condiconea del cuarto tanto debajo de la cama como la cama como tal osea wl cuarto entero otra. Otra q no me gusto es q no podiamos bajar la temperatura del aire q estaba prohibido increible nos pedian ir a reception a pedir frisas y mas q uno anda con un bebe pero todo lo demas fine

Even though the property is going through renovations, it was still clean and quiet. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. It's right off the highway. I would definitely stay here again.

Not satisfied

This was one of many times us staying we weren't told that we were going to get charged for a third person until we arrived. Breakfast was over charged we could not control the ac temperature they told us the only thing that they could do was to give extra blankets. Rating from one to ten a two . Second time is new management for the price we paid not worth it I don't think I be staying at your place anymore. Personal was professional they did the best with what they had to offer

Needs improvement

Hotel under construction. Staff was friendly and helpful but amenities need attention to detail. Room was clean but coffee maker wasn't working/no ingredients to brew available, in room safe didn't work properly, too cold in the room asked for extra sheets but didn't help much, couldn't adjust thermostat to comfortable temperature, toilet wouldn't flush, not enough electric outlets to connect things, some vending machines were sold out or took no change. The only plus enjoyable was pool.
