2/10 Poor

The rooms are separated from the reception and the parking lot. Must walk 3 blocks. As you enter the building, you feel you are entering a jail and feel terribly insecure. We got locked inside the room and had to trow keys throught the window to someone who can enter and open the door. If there is no space in the parking lot, must leave the car in the street and the security officer says it is not safe at all
