Muy Limpio y me sentí muy segura en sus alrededores el cuarto que seleccione tenía una vista espectacular estaba de muy buen tamaño el único problema para mí es que si tienen problemas para caminar que lo piensen antes de reservar, para llegar al hotel tienes que subir una subida en un callejón y para la gente que no está acostumbrada va a ser difícil o para una persona con discapacidad de caminar, Le doy un 100 a el hotel y sus cuartos
