Me encanta este lugar. Se ve feo y de mala muerte. Pero no le pide nada a cualquier otro de cualquier lugar existen lugares caros y estan de la patada. Este lugar es seguro. Las habitaciones con cama Queen, les vendría bien un mueble para poner la ropa mínimo un buró. Tamaño estan bien. Baño limpio y con agua hirviendo toda la noche incluso a cualquier hora. Pantallas con internet y wifi. De buen tamaño. El personal bastante eficiente. atento. Discreto. De repente algún loco por alli descontrolado pero es normal en cualquier motel. Ubicación en el triangulo de las bermudas. Todo esta bien. Me gusta. Lo mejor es que es Super hiper mega económico. El 10% del costo de un hotel de lujo. Y 10 horas de tiempo. Increíble pero cierto. Solo $120 pesos por 10 horas.
