It was absolutely excellent. Rooms are always clean. Location is great. One blocks to the lake. Can walk to any store store , restaurant, etc... Stayed for months. I love it here. Four (3) beautiful women work there. They are very respectful, accommodating, helpful, hardworking, and always there when you need them.
8.0
Una estancia muy agradable y el personal muy amable en todo momento. Gracias al señor de la noche por su amabilidad para calentar mi sandwich. Cómo recomendación, si hubo personas que fumaron en las habitaciones, después de hacer limpieza dejen abierta puerta y ventanas para ventilar, fue un poco desagradable ingresar y el cuarto oliera a mucho tabaco, es por eso que pongo 4 estrellas.
