Good hotel! Only issue was the AC, it was not on, but I went downstairs to ask them to turn it on remotely (it was locked) and they did. Bed was comfortable. ¡Buen hotel! El único problema fue el aire acondicionado; no estaba encendido, pero bajé a pedirles que lo encendieran a distancia (estaba cerrado) y lo hicieron. La cama era cómoda.
