Cuando llegamos la muchacha en el front desk fue muy antipática, no tenia modales profesional, nos cobraron hasta el parqueo. La habitación se estaba cayendo en piesas, los vecinos de al lado haciendo escandalo la noche entera y hasta tuvimos que llamar seguirida. Todos los ruidos del pasillo se podia escuchar adentro de la habitación, no pudimos dormir nada esa noche. No le recomiendo a nadie este hotel, es pura porquería. Y parece que nos dieron el peor cuarto del hotel entero.
