Buen lugar para pasar la noche. Las personas de la recepción te reciben y responden dudas con amabilidad. Las habitaciones son cómodas y es muy barato si vas en familia o grupos pequeños. Desayuno continental básico y ya depende de cada persona si quiere comer poco o mucho. Tiene buena ubicación. El único inconveniente es que si hay frío y te gusta el agua caliente tendrás que aguantar, porque sus calentadores son solares (en lo personal no tuve problema porque amo el agua fría, pero a la mayoría le parece el detalle más notorio del hotel) se revolucionaría quizá teniendo boilers o calentadores provisionales en días fríos, y los demás días usar los solares.

No me esperaba TANTO por tan poco dinero ($450 MXN), la verdad. La recepcionista y la dueña fueron super amables (me ofrecieron prestar un paraguas y recomendaron lugares). Los cuartos están SUPER limpios y las toallas huelen excelente! También tienen wifi! Tienen áreas comunes super amplias y hermosas con muchas plantas y en una ubicación muy muy conveniente. Además de todo esto, ofrecen precios por día, por semana y por mes. La verdad si conviene este hotel. Espero y se animen a venir porque este es unos de los pocos hoteles que te dan precios súper buenos para un cuarto y un servicio impecable.

El hotel en general es cómodo, la habitación aunque algo pequeña, para una persona fue más que suficiente, limpia y cómoda. El desayuno que incluye aunque adecuado, estuvo algo tarde y no a las 8 AM como se indica. La ubicación del hotel no es tan complicado de llegar y no tan lejos del centro histórico de la ciudad, aunque el estacionamiento es muy limitado y aunque se argumenta que es seguro, el coche tuve que dejarlo en la calle.

Excelente lugar, trato amable desde tu ingreso hasta el final. Descansas plácidamente sin tanto bullicio citadino y la cama cómoda, pero las almohadas superior. Limpieza y comodidad total. Lo recomiendo ampliamente, desayuno continental incluído en el precio (le da un plus), ubicación céntrica y cerca de todo. Gracias al personal en general.
