El personal de recepción no es nada amable, tienen gatos que entran a la habitación y aunque se enciende el tema de PET friendly, también deben tener claro que existimos huéspedes que preferimos no mascotas. El check out es un dolor de cabeza, ni en un hotel 5 estrellas te hacen tanto show para salir, te revisan hasta las toallas que por cierto no estaban en tan buen estado (rota de los bordes) No tienen sentido de hospitalidad, pedimos la plancha y resulta que solo tienen una para todo el hotel por lo cual la pudieron prestar hasta el siguiente día. Adicional a eso tienes que ir tú por la plancha y la tabla de planchar y llevarla a tu habitación. En ningún hotel se ha visto eso. De verdad les falta mucho servicio al cliente. Salvo por un empleado que nos hizo recomendaciones para donde comer y lugares que visitar, la chica de recepción pésimo. ##### Mei Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alan Jul 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Muy bonitos ##### Alan Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ana Pamela Apr 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Volveria 10 veces más Tanto servicio como instalaciones excelente.
