Ayres Lodge Alpine

Ayres Lodge Alpine

10/10 Excellent
"Los cuartos y baños son un tanto pequeños pero muy limpios, el desayuno estuvo muy bueno, me sorprendió la hora de las galletas a las 7 pm las galletas calientitas y el café muy rico, sentí que al agua de la alberca le faltaba limpieza, hay una plaza con restaurantes muy cerca a los que puedes ir caminando, me sorprendió el clima que estaba bastante caliente pensé que estaría un poco fresco, en general mis hijas quedaron muy contentas y planeamos volver este año."
