"El Hotel Kelly Centro Histórico tiene una ubicación muy accesible para visitar Santa Ana. El personal fue excelente: todos nos atendieron con mucha amabilidad y disposición. Como sugerencia de mejora, el baño necesita una limpieza más cuidadosa, especialmente las llaves del agua y sus orillas, donde se notaba acumulación de suciedad. Fuera de ese detalle, tuvimos una buena experiencia y agradecemos mucho la atención del personal."
