Excelente en todo

El hotel es excelente. Nosotros estuvimos en otro de la misma categoría dos días antes y este hotel lo supera significativamente. Volvería sin duda. Se encuentra muy bien ubicado y el desayuno es muy variado, tipo buffet. Tiene recepción las 24 horas. Ayuda mucho en vuelos que llegan en la madrugada, como fue nuestro caso.
