El personal y los servicios. En cuanto llegamos querían cobraron alegando que la tarifa de plataforma estaba mal ya que yo les había escrito por Whatsapp y me quería cobrar el triple. Yo reserve para mi esposo, mis hijos de 13 y 12 y yo ya que me indicaron por Whatsapp que los menores de 10 no pagaban y llevé a mis bebés de 3 y 2 años. Al llegar querían cobrarnos por dos más. Fatal. Al reclamar nos hicieron perder tiempo en recepción la recepcionista fue a llamar aparte al jefe y bueno dijeron que para no tener malos comentarios no nos iban a cobrar más cosas que no era correcta
