The cost was one of the lowest available on kayak search engines. The staff were great. The rooms were reasonably clean and low cost dining was across the street. Mostly well behaved college age adults were around.

Errores pueden pasar pero la clave es saber cómo manejarlos. Recepcionistas con poco servicio al cliente. No había agua y la cocina esta un cochinero. Taladrando en la zona de coworking Tomaron mi alimento y los que trabajan ahí no les importo.
