Pasé varios días en este hotel, donde los primeros estuvo todo bien, la habitación buen tamaño y prestaciones. Pero lamentablemente los últimos dos días coloque el aviso en la puerta para que no me limpien la habilitación pero no les importó e invadieron mi privacidad. Esto me pareció realmente terrible ya que movieron todas mis cosas.

I requested 2 single beds, but was given a double, so had to share. The biggest issue was the absolutely disgusting state of the mattress protector sheet. It made the bed smell of urine, even though the sheet was clean

Overall nice hotel. Well equipped and comfortable rooms. Staff are also very helpful and polite. The only thing that let it down was the breakfast. All cooked items were only very lightly cooked to the point you couldn't tell if the tomatoes or hash browns had been cooked at all. Ended up just having some toast.
