el lugar es agradable, las habitaciones son limpias pero muy basicas. la comida es bueno pero los restaurantes es difícil acceder a ellos porque no es con reserva y tienen una capacidad de pocas personas .el servicio en los restaurantes no es el mejor. No es el mejor hotel pero puede ser una categoría 3-4 estrellas buena. tiene buen entrenamiento nocturno pero a las 11pm se acaba todo
