I really commend the staff of the hotel for their kindness and availability in solving the structural problems of the hotel which require a serious refurbishment. Rooms are large but furniture and electric appliances are really outdated. Also and more serious rooms stinks. The first room I was assigned at the lower floor was really stinking of humidity. The second , at the second floor was still smelling but it was kind of bearable. The staff at the desk did their best to find me an alternative and they saved my staying in Radisson. I would not however go back

Me hospedé en el hotel por una actividad a la que asistí. Las instalaciones viejas, el televisor no funciona, el teléfono no tiene tono entonces no se puede comunicar con recepción. Lo peor, en el desayuno uno de los empleados fue mal educado, retador y ofensivo con una adulta mayor que nos acompaña. Al ingresarlo lejos de reconocer su mal actuar lo que hizo fue reírse. El hotel es pésimo y NO lo recomiendo en lo más mínimo. Se aleja mucho de todas las buenas prácticas de servicio al cliente de un hotel de cadena y máxime de uno con la calidad que tiene Radisson

The hotel is quite nice and the staff* is overall friendly and competent. However, I had a suite, which was simply a very large room, which looked cold and empty. The room was also quite. Post, from both inside and outside of the building. The breakfast is very mediocre and the location is not really walkable to downtown. The pool area looked great (it was too cold and rainy to use when I was there). The access to a professional gym that is connected to the hotel was great. * I told them twice that my toilet was running and, while they had someone look at it, they didn’t fix it.

The hotel was clean, and breakfast was good. The facilities are dated although maintained. There were rowdy crowds at the hotel and noise carried from rooms, hallways, and the restaurants. The room did not have a minifridge nor bathtub, nor convenient electricity plugs. The TV had low resolution and was old. Staff was generally pleasant and there were several food options available. The hotel is not walking distance from anything.
