Hotel is very clean. Customer services very accommodating and willing. Only odd thing is front desk being on the phone for personal calls. You can hear it upstairs because of the open lobby however, I would definitely stay there again.

Solmayra, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property was super clean and mostly comfy (the A/C didn’t work wonderfully, but it wasn’t enough for me to never come back). The only disappointment was breakfast. Very bare and low quality.
