My room was large with a Bay window looking towards the mountains. Bed comfortable. Flat screen TV though in this region...it appears cable options are limited. There is a large comfortable sitting area on the floor. The location is a short walk to the market plaza. ##### Stephen ### 8/10 Good #### Matthew Nov 16, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort It was very good except there was no toilet seat in my room. When I questioned why not later on, I was told that they hadn't had time to replace the one that had broken the previous day. That's something you really need to explain to people when they first arrive. Assuming that's been fixed though, it's a very clean, modern place with very friendly staff. ##### Matthew Stayed 1 night in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amelia Feb 1, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Me encantó los servicios.
