Big room, clean and handy at a good price
Julio, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I have got really impressed with the cleaning of all the environments, the amenities helped a lot to save time when you want to take a fast breakfast and go, or to relax in a pool without traveling long distances. The best part is to meet people around the world and make new friends and connections during your trip.
