Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Small rooms in some categories — While some rooms are spacious, others may feel compact – one guest noted small rooms that have everything you need if you're not spending much time in the hotel.
- Limited English spoken by some staff — While the manager and some staff speak English, others may have limited English. Guests noted that staff are helpful despite the language barrier.
- Breakfast is basic — The breakfast offering is simple – one guest noted coffee and tortillas instead of white bread. It's included in some rates, but don't expect a lavish spread.
- Some facilities need attention — One guest reported that the TV in their room didn't work despite being large. The facilities rating (7.5) is the lowest category.
