Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The property was great due to how close it was to the central part of the city. The staff were very helpful and polite. The hotel was clean and very well maintained. The only thing was you needed to be buzzed into the hotel after past 10pm. You would need for someone to let you in from the street after 10pm.

When i got there they had given away all their rooms, and had no rooms available, even though i had confirmed my reservation online less tha one hour before getting there. If it appears available and you confirm a room through expedia, it should be guaranteed.

The staff were friendly and very helpful. The breakfast is very good. The room we had was small but clean and had a small balcony that was a bonus. We enjoyed our stay and if we ever make it back we would stay there again.

Great hotel and staff. Location is great and the rooms are comfy. Only issue is coming in and out of the building. The gate is locked a lot of the times and you have to ring the bell every time to get in/out. They are also very strict on the maximum guest per room policy. Overall very happy with my stay as the price to value Is unbeatable.

MAGNIFICA ESTADÍA EN UN LUGAR QUE NO CONOCÍAMOS.

Nos encontramos con un hotel familiar regenteado por la dueña y sus dos hijos. Está ubicado en el centro de la parte antigua de la ciudad y a solo cinco cuadras de la plaza principal y restaurantes, la zona es segura, la atención del personal del hotel es muy, muy buena y solucionan el problema que puedas tener en forma rapida. Te aconsejan, con plano de la ciudad en loa mano, donde puedes ir y que conocer, como asi tambien si uno lo quiere se contrata el viaja por intermedio de ellos. En definitiva, como resultado y experiencia en ese hotes podemos decir que es de DIEZ.
