Destaco la atención al cliente, todos fueron muy amables y atentos a los detalles solicitados. La propiedad como tal es linda y la tienen en buenas condiciones. Me gustó mucho la comida del restaurante probé uno de los platillos que me recomendaron y estaba muy rico. Solo un detalle con el tema del ruido porque está cerca de una zona en donde transitan mucho las chivas fiesteras, tuve que comprar tapones de oídos y así resolví. Esto ocurre con todos los hoteles y estancias en esos alrededores, así que este hotel no es la excepción.

They rent out the roof top terrace for private events for non guests that are loud and go until 4:00 am. Do not expect to be able to use all facilities or sleep when they do this.
