Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Primero el cuarto que me dieron muy mal condiciones, empezando que el televisor estaba a la cabezera de la cama un cuarto tan pequeño para una sola persona no cabia con mi esposo y la puerta muy insegura no cerraba bien, cuando fuimos hablar a la front desk. Hubo una señora muy grocera enojada por los reclamos que hicimos, fue muy mal educada no sabe lidiar con customer , creo que era la esposa del dueño.. menos mal llego el dueño y fue muy amable y nos atendio, nos toco pagar extra para que nos cambiaran de cuarto..

Ricardo and his wife are very welcoming and make you feel right at home. Ricardo was especially considerate about walking us to the airport at 5:00 AM. The area is safe and residential.

A small mixup upon arrival doing to Expedia not having their new address. I walked to the old one. It took a bit but Ricardo and Mari were very gracious and kind. They are excellent hosts and their staff for breakfast was very kind and polite. It is a simple room but for the price it was very good. I would recommend. Walking distance from the airport! Thank you for a short but very nice stay.

Hote très gentil. L'endroit est parfait pour un depart tôt le matin car très proche de l'aéroport 4-5 minutes à pied. En revanche, nous n'avons pas pu prendre le petit-déjeuner car servi à 7h alors qu'on partait à 6h15.
