OK

Todo estuvo muy bien desde mi llegada a la Recepción y su atención durante mi estadía del miércoles al sábado. Muy amables tanto en Recepción como de parte del personal del comedor. Esta es la tercera vez que me alojo en el Hotel, y de ser necesario lo haré de nuevo, por supuesto. Saludos. Gracias.

Un Desastre!

Horrible!, amaru me cambio de hotel un día antes y fue un Desastre, el nuevo hotel (Plaza Colón) no cumplio en nada con lo comprado a amaru.. Horrible la experiencia, me. Siento estafado. Quiero hacer Reclamos formal a amaru y Booking para la devoción total del dinero. Estoy dispuesto hablar con quier corresponda para dar más información.
