It states that there is onsite parking. This maybe the case for a very small car or scooter, but not a Toyota truck. We didn’t like having to park off site.
Very noisy at night, the windows are not soundproof at all. You can hear people talking from outside, dogs barking non-stop, even the roosters at 4 in the morning are loud enough to wake you up. The building also looks poorly maintained, the walls are scratched and stained, some of the bedsheets looked unclean, and we even found a very large spider on one of the beds when we first checked in. Otherwise, the breakfast service was nice and the workers were well-accomodating.
It was horrible
The bathroom smelled like sewer
There was a sign in the bathroom to only take a bathe for 5 minutes!
No where to hang your clothes
Breakfast was not edible
Bugs are n the room
Bed was like sleeping on a cot
There were on 2 good things
Cable
And location to downtown
And I forgot the parking was terrible
Excelente servicio, el personal muy atento y amable, me gustó todo y la tranquilidad de mi habitación lo único malo fué que cuando llegué encontré una bolsa con basura y botellas en la entrada de mi hab. Pero de lo demás todo muy bien.

Habitaciones sin aire acondicionado y camas en mal estado (no mucho pero no son nada confortables) en relación calidad y precio está bien
