The manager Josefina was so friendly and accommodating. I had called to ask if it was possible to check in earlier than 2pm, quite a bit earlier actually and she was happy to allow me to. The room was clean, comfortable and the location is excellent. I would recommend this property most definitely. Thank you so much for being so wonderfully nice.
