I liked the amenities, which I might have used if they were geared towards people of all ages. My impression was that it is geared towards young people who like to party. In terms of service, I specifically switched my reservation to Expedia because it listed a room with two queen size beds. Instead, I was told I would get a room with one standard bed. When I told the manager that I specifically emailed about the two beds I reserved and got confirmation, I got a room with 2 "standard beds." The beds were twin sized. Also, the room was not ready at 3 pm. I waited for a couple of hours and then the bedding was not installed. I paid for a standard or even a medium starred stay. I got the service of a hostel, which the hotel is. It was not an honest sell.

An hotel that looks nothing like the photos. The hotel is not at 7minutes distance from the airport, with trafic 40 min, fluid 25 we did both. There is no check in or check out counter, there was only a security gardian who gave us the key at the entrance. The bed was not a mattress at all and it was dirty like they just made the bed and didn't change to wash them. A sofa with white powder, and I don’t thing it was baking soda to clean it up. The floor was stained with old blood. The curtains didn’t work to close them at night and the bathroom didn't had towels at all. We stayed here as emergency to spend the night because our flight was canceled after 12 hrs delayed du to volcano activity and we booked at 23hrs. We spend the night my boyfriend and I with all our clothes on because the bed was dirty. We “checked out” at 7am and even if we had the protection plan no one to answer or help us with a claim. Save 100$ and go to an other hotel but here. Nothing safe or pleasant here.

Si vas con la expectativa de descansar no es el lugar. Se escucha mucho ruido, hay extranjero que no respetan la hora de dormir de otros, avise a recepción para apoyo jamás me respondieron. Los chicos del bar estan mas enfocados en besarse que en atender Mi habitación tenía un cesto grande de basura jamás se la llevaron desde que me lo dieron, los baños jamás estuvieron limpios, ni papel de baño. Opte por un baño lejos para bañarme decentemente. Creo que habia chinche en mi cama, me dio mucha picazón. Ña habitación tenia un ventilador roto y peligroso...y el.cortinero roto. El personal no es malo, pero siento que 3stan cortos por el tamaño del lugar. Si fuera extranjera creo que me.hubiera gustado la experiencia...pero fui plan de descanso y laboral salí decepcionada. No hubo internet Toda mi instancia por un problema. Solo la ubicación la salva.

El lugar realmente da miedo, tienen un 1 sólo baño para hombres-mujeres (el mismo) para TODO el piso, no hay ni siquiera papel. Cuando llegamos inmediatamente pedimos cancelar la reservación porque era imposible estar ahí, no nos dieron ningún reembolso y ninguna solución, perdimos el dinero y tuvimos que buscar otro hotel. Por parte de expedia TAMPOCO nos dieron solución.
