This girl is located in a very centralized area surrounded by many eating options with a huge mall very near. Complimentary breakfast was very good and parking was great with plenty of spaces. The only reason I didn’t give it all 5 Stars is an inconvenience we encountered with the televisión and the way it was handled by the night staff member. Other than that, the day staff was great, specially the reception staff and the maintenance. The room has a funky smell and there were spider webs in the bathroom however the bed was clean and comfortable.

The beds were superb—very comfortable with smooth soothing sheets and perfect pillows—not too hard, not too soft. Good bedside lighting. Parking good—wide spots not tiny cramped spots.
