"Decidi no quedarme en ese hostal, preferi perder la plata que quedarme en ese sitio tan sucio y desagradable, por mi parte nunca lo recomendaria, me toco hospedarme en otro sitio mas barato. Reserve dos habitaciones y me mandaron a un cuarto donde tenia que compartir con gente que no conozco. Definitivamente un lugar asqueroso."
