The hotel was good for what we needed my husband fell in love with the garden but keep in mind that it belongs to the restaurant we were told we can't bring our own drinks and just enjoy the view. That really upset us bucause we really wanted to sit and enjoy the garden.

Good stay
I had room 104, and the lock jams, so they showed me how to jiggle it.

Hotel anticuado, urge remodelación, parece motel.
Es un hotel anticuado, no lo han remodelado, las camas con malos colchones, se sienten los resortes por doquier, el área de la alberca es lo único rescatable, y por eso ponen tan pocas fotos, publican las fotos de los mejores lugares con los mejores ángulos, nuestra habitación parecía de motel, el baño igual.
