Excelente solo no podía cambiarle a la tv sin control y para tener tu propia llave te cobran 200 pesos pero te los regresan es como para que la cuides pero en todo lo demás estuvo excelente , muy amables en la reservación y para la confirmación de la transferencia porque debes pagar antes recomiendo para cuando solo vas de paso dos camas y regadera con agua caliente
