He also highlighted the good price and prime location as key advantages. On the other hand, Jorge Alejandro Sotelo Cervantes appreciated the cleanliness and practical aspects but observed that the ambiance carries a motel-like vibe.

Bastante bien el precio y ubicacion, un poquito de mejor lumpieza estaria bien y cortinas. Olvide una maleta y el recepcionista me la resguardo muy honradamente. Agradezco mucho mucho y encarecidamente que me hayan devuelto mi mochila. Gracias. Recomendado por precio accesible y ubicación.

Un lugar cerca del parque central ,precio accesible ,limpio ,funcional pero me di cuenta que realmente se usa como motel , y si el personal cambiará un poco su cara de amargados que tienen podría funcionar mejor , en cuanto el restaurante es ya comida preparada solo para recalentar es xxx
