A limpeza é fraca o chuveiro estava avariado e mal dava para tomar banho
PEPASpainPues para mi no es recomendable
El colchón y las almohadas muy cómodo, pero el protector del colchón que hay debajo de las sábanas, completamente y lleno de meadas, no me hace ninguna gracia poner mi cuerpo sobre pipis secos, estábamos en la habitación…
