During the day until 9pm they rent by hours for boys and girls it is hygienically unsafe hotel for customers, because after long trip I arrived before 6pm I took rest around reception. The following day I changed the hotel with less price a very good hotel. Why i must hide the reality?

スーペリアで予約したが、オリエンタルというカテゴリーの202号室だった。 以前はあったらしい朝食サービスが無くなっていたのは残念だったが、チェックイン時にジュースとシリアルがもらえた。 室内には無料のミネラルウォーターが2本あった。 バスルームは円形バスタブのジャグジーだった。風呂でゆっくりしたかったので当たりだった。しかしバスタブの排水にはものすごく時間がかかった。 ベッドは寝心地が良かった。 室内のあちこちにコンセントはあるが、テーブルから離れているので延長コード必須。 掃除は不十分な点がいくつかあった。バスタブ内に髪の毛があったり、ドライヤーや空気清浄機などにはホコリが溜まっていた。 部屋に入ると廊下があり、そこからドアを開けて室内に入るのだが、ドアを開けるとすぐ一段低い段差があり何も目印がないのでとても危ない。私は足を踏み外してコケそうになった。 トイレはウォシュレット付きだが、温水や温便座にはならなかった。

El personal fue amable, el lugar es únicamente para parejas adultas, la dirección es correcta pero la ubicacion en google maps esta mal, creo que deberian de actualizar en google, especialmente por los extranjeros. Tiene lo que necesitas, toallas, secadora de cabello, microondas, calefactor y aire acondicionado, frig9bar y aparte tienen una mini maquina expendedora de bebidas.
