Las camas están muy cómodas, el cuarto está limpio, el agua de la regadera no es muy caliente, el agua de la regadera es de un flujo muy suave por lo que tú baño va a durar más de lo que acostumbras.
VERY clean - newly remodeled, rain-fall shower head (!!), nice warm water for shower. i wish there was a mini-fridge, coffee maker & microwave. Maybe in the future the owner will add this!

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
