Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The only windows in these rooms are in the bathroom and let out into the interior of the hotel. Meaning when you walk to your room your walk through scent of mixed people poo. Then they had to nerve to say “no smoking” just because I have dreadlocks. A joint would have covered the poo smell that lingered the whole stay.

It is well located , just in front of the bus station, but te A/C didn’t cooled the room, the shower only had hot water without power (you had to stand near the wall to get wet).

The rooms we got were clean (sheets and bathrooms). Installations need lots of improvements, updates. One of the rooms lacked of window so it was claustrophobic. Is convening location for those looking to be close to the ADO bus station.

Nunca hubo servicio de limpieza, no hubo tanta comunicación de parte de recepción hacia nosotros. No habían ventanas me sentía muy encerrada, el aire acondicionado un poco viejo no sabía cómo usarlo y nadie me explico, no hay elevadores. Dentro de lo que cabe bien pero falta mucho servicio al cliente.
