"Había leído opiniones un poco preocupantes con respecto a la limpieza del lugar pero debo decir que no fue mi caso. Tuve una habitación con una cama cómoda, lo que hizo mi descanso agradable. El servicio de WiFi si era un poco intermitente y es lo único que me resultó un poco criticable ya que mi estancia fue por temas laborales. Si buscas un lugar económico, accesible y con garage, esta es tu opción"
