"Breakfast was coffee or tea and Maria’s cookies with jelly and butter.
Walking distance from the cities downtown and the busiest part of the beach.
The rooms were outdated but clean and the water pressure and temperature was decent and consistent. Staff was friendly and helpful."

Y asegurarse que si sean las cosas como dicen ,que solo clientes pueden utilizar los servicios del hotel incluyendo la alberca ,tuve la experiencia de convivir con un familiar de (la dueña)
Pero la experiencia no fue muy grata ya que ubo falta de respeto ,pero deja do de un lado eso , todo estuvo bien :)"
