I traveled with 7 girlfriends, booked 4 rooms for 1 night each room. All 4 rooms needed to be updated, first room the door knob didn't work. Second room, wood floor was in a very bad condition, toilet paper holder broken, several light switches loosen. Very old beds and linens. Old and noisy AC mini split unit.

Hotel muy sucio descuidado, sin agua caliente en la regadera, sin internet, el personal hace caso omiso de las peticiones del huésped. De las 3 noches solo una tuvimos internet, el agua caliente había que estarla insistiendo cada hora y el personal solo te ignora solo te dicen que así es el hotel, de verdad muy mala experiencia.

Para quedarse una noche está bien, que fue realmente la necesidad que en ese momento teníamos y nos ayudó a salir del paso. Sin embargo la habitación ya muy antigua, televisión y muebles de hace ya muchísimos años. la puerta no le funcionaba el sensor de tarjeta y tenia un picaporte. Limpieza bien. Recomiendo solo para una emergencia y por el recorrido a las instalaciones y capilla que suele ser muy interesante. Saludos!!

Encontramos las habitaciones a un precio muy accesible y el hotel es muy pintoresco. El problema es que no pudimos descansar bien. Estaban haciendo algún tipo de mantenimiento durante la noche y fue terrible. Por lo demás bien.
