Una habitación decente, tenía algunos detalles agradables como un cafetera de expreso lo cual para mí gusto es muy agradable. Estaba limpio he incluye accesorios muy útiles como una mesa para planchar. El desayuno algo repetitivo pero igual estaba bien. Para quienes nos gusta el café puedes tomar durante el desayuno todo el quieras y es de buena calidad.
