Too loud! Windows are cheap and do not block noise from the street below. Room smelled dank from humidity. Too expensive for the poor level of comfort. I don’t recommend this “motel”.

Experiencia de ir a un motel

El precio es demasiado alto La habitación es muy pequeña y no tiene ventanas El colchón y las almohadas son muy duras Tienen bastantes parqueaderos disponibles El internet no funciona, es terriblemente lento y mantiene dando errores de conexión. La alfombra de la escalera esta hecha de retazos, da muy mal aspecto. El tráfico de la calle se escucha completamente en la habitación El Desayuno es mínimo aceptable La base de la cama es de cemento, parecería que antes era un motel que alquila las habitaciones por horas

Experiencia Hotel El FARO

El hotel es bonito, pero desafortunadamente no cuenta con ascensor ni servicio a la habitación, las sábanas no las planchan lo cual le resta señorío al ambiente de la habitación y no colocan jabón ni shampoo en el baño, tampoco cuentan con secador de cabello. La atención de los auxiliares del hotel no es la mejor y si no es por que solicité apoyo para subir mi equipaje que era grande y pesado, lo hubiera tenido que subir yo misma. No cuentan con atracciones o áreas de esparcimiento que agregue valor a la estadía.

Hotel en construcción, ruido y malos olores

Muy mala experiencia… 1. El Hotel esta en remodelaciones de construcción y no lo habían avisado por lo que durante todo el día tienes que escuchar ruidos fuertes de construcción justo sobre la habitación. 2. Huele horrible a alcantarilla todo el hotel y sus alrededores, no se si es por los arreglos que estan haciendo pero huele muy mal Deberían advertir antes de reservar que se encuentran en construcción y que puede ser molesto. No apto para descansar
