Bed bugs
The shower was good, good location, the guys in the reception were kind.
The woman in the reception interrupted us in the middle of the shower to tell us that we need to pay. Very rude. Our friends got bitten by bed bugs…

could have been decent if the staff were not so rude
close to main plaza
basic rooms, not super clean, there is a night club across the street so it can become noisy. Some of the staff members were extremely rude.
