Jose Javier, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very comfortable hotel. Location was great: just a few minutes from the airport! Room was big and clean. Receptionists were excellent: Kayla, Shayla and Emil. Service room was very good. Breakfast was pretty good: Yolanda provided excellent service; but the other employee had a bad attitude: I asked her to warm the water to make a tea and she refused to do it ("do it by yourself" -she said). In general, my wife and I enjoyed our stay there.

The staff was ok, but so busy and only one person handling the front- the hotel is ok but dated and dingy. We would not shower at the hotel. It was ok for a quick sleep and leave the next morning. We will not return.
