"Un hotel debe tener atención en recepción y siempre estuvo vacía. La limpieza no está bien porque parece fumigaron y olvidaron recoger lás cucarachas muertas (en las sabanas y gavetas) . El restaurante con una sola persona para atender y también ayudaba en la cocina. Solo vimos dos personas para limpiar, cocinar y atender , eso es muy poco personal."
