"Muy buena opción de un hotel si tu idea no es estar cerca del centro. Me gustaron las instalaciones, es un hotel moderno, limpio, camas comodas, buenos espacios y buena comida. No me gusto, la atención de la recepción, nada cordiales, pareciera que están ahí por obligación. Se escucha mucho el ruido del pasillo en las habitaciones, y en el pasillo y cerca del comedor en ocasiones se percibe un olor a caño. Me parece buena opción, con sus respectivas consideraciones."
