Todo me gustó, como me recibieron y la información que me dieron, todo súper completo. Muy conveniente el café gratis 24 horas. Lo que NO me gustó, es que cenamos en el restaurante de junto y pagamos la cuenta. Al hacer check out, el hotel me cargo a mi tarjeta el importe de esa cena. En teoría me van a hacer un ajuste, pero hasta ahora no ha sucedido. Por lo demás perfecto.
