What they show in pictures is not what’s in person. My room was in bad condition. The drawers falling apart, rust all over the room, I found a bug next to the bed. I tried to mediate with the hotel to get a room change and was told by 3 staffs at reception to wait to speak to Juan from reception at 9am. It was 10:15 and Juan was no where to be found. After waiting and not being helped. I decided I wanted to leave the hotel, at this point I didn’t feel comfortable. I stayed for 1 night & they don’t want to refund me for the rest of the days I was supposed to be there. I ended up going to a much better hotel for the rest of my stay. Don’t stay here, bad customer service. Rooms in bad condition. It’s noisy at night.
