Lo bueno es la ubicación céntrica, fuera de ello, hay ruido/música en la calle toda la noche que te dificultará descansar, las cortinas estan en mal estado, no cierran bien y entra la luz, la caja fuerte no funcionaba, una luz del baño estaba fundida, lo peor fue la señal WiFi le informe al personal de recepción para tener una solución y solo fue un "Si, esta inestable" Si no quieres dormir en la calle es una buena opción
