La habitacion que nos tocó fué comoda, no asi las camas. Vendria bien reemplazar las alfombras por otro tipo de piso mas actual. El desayuno no se caracterizo por su variedad ni abundancias, realmente escueto y todo embasado. Gracias

This is a great value. Oder property, but very reasonably priced. Beds are comfortable. Had a good night sleep which was important because that is what we mainly wanted from our stay. Staff is friendly and room clean. Breakfast could use some work, but I have seen worse. Cereal, beagles cream cheese apple and bananas, yogurt juice and coffee. Have is a start to the day.

I stayed for a few hours between shifts at the hospital. Very friendly, clean, local easy check-in and out. Would stay again. Most affordable option. People may complain about the carpet being dated. You’re getting what you pay for in SB.
