Clean room, would like it if they add two rolls of toilet paper instead of 1. Also, if they would check wash cloths it would be great. There was hair on both of them. The heat would work on and off even if it was on 80 degrees.

Jose

Liked: Cleanliness
The conditions of the place match the price of the accommodation. It was clean, but the room smelled heavily of cigarette smoke — way too much. I had to sleep the whole night with a T-shirt covering my nose and mouth because at times I couldn’t breathe well due to the smoke smell. // Las condiciones del lugar es acorde al precio del hospedaje, estaba limpio pero la habitación olía demasiado a humo de cigarrillo pero demasiado tuve que dormir toda la noche con un camiseta cubriendo mi nariz y mi boca porque en ocasiones no podia respirar muy bien.
