Over all a good hotel. But make sure you call the hotel and make sure their renovations are done so that your key card would work. Had to go down stairs 4 to 5 times to change my key cards in 1 day.

La propiedad está en remodelación hasta Marzo 2025, por eso hay un poco de polvo y ruido diariamente incluyendo fines de semana. La habitación asignada estaba bastante moderna, pero en el baño no estaba terminado. Me parece que le falta seguridad, ya que se podía entrar y salir a cualquier hora sin necesidad de identificación. Un día en la mañana temprano había una pareja gritando fuerte en el pasillo. Al entrar el personal de recepción no está muy visible, deben estar sentados mas altos o el counter ser un poco mas bajito para que le den la bienvenida a los clientes al llegar. Aunque incluye desayuno, las opciones eran muy limitadas. Por el momento para quedarse una noche, está bien, ya que está cerca del aeropuerto.

The property lookds nothing like the pictures. Dirty and run down. We struggled to get the key to work every time we tried to enter the room. People were cooking in their rooms. It smelled like fried fish. Would not stay here ever again.
