8.2/10 Very good! (453 reviews)
Excelente opción para llegar en familia. Está muy cerca del centro a distancia razonable para caminar. Si vas en carro, no deja de haber un reto para encontrar parqueos en las inmediaciones.
El sistema de llave de la habitación hay que mejorarlo. Está a la antigua que se abre con una llave tradicional y el llavero pesa mucho.
Muy recomendable para ir en familia

9.6/10 Exceptional! (668 reviews)
Everything and everyone there was amazing. The ONLY thing I would suggest is that they pony up for some soft sheets and pillowcases. Shockingly stiff and uncomfortable. We resorted to wrapping our pillow with a t-shirt.
