La ubicación es bastante buena, no está muy retirado del centro. La habitación en general cumple con lo mínimo que uno espera, limpia y cómoda. El precio es bastante accesible y me parece tiene servicio de cafetería aunque yo no lo use. Bastante aceptable para estancias cortas.

El hotel estaba muy cerca del lugar que fuimos a visitar, está en una avenida importante y céntrica. Su estacionamiento no es interior, es de banqueta en batería frente al hotel, pero no hay problema pues la ciudad es muy segura y las patrullas de la policía pasan continuamente. La habitación de la planta baja de dos camas individuales era espaciosa, así como el baño también. Tiene ventilador de techo. Al registrarte te entregan un control remoto de la televisión y otro para el decodificador de la TV por cable. Todo se veía limpio, pero al entrar se sintió un ligero olor como a drenaje, el cual provenía de la rejilla de la ducha, a la cual se le seca el agua y permite salir el olor, pero todo fue tan fácil como aplicar un vaso con agua y listo! La puerta de entrada a la habitación o es delgada o no está bien aislada, pues las conversaciones de una mujer que hablaba con voz muy fuerte con el administrador se escuchaban perfectamente, además de que lo hacían a las 23:50 horas. (No me permitían dormir) Deberían ser más discretos.
