Imbatible calidad precio

La habitación estaba muy bien, aunque no era muy amplia tenía todo lo necesario para una buena estancia. El inmueble en el que se alberga el hotel está en el centro histórico de Santa Marta y es muy bonito, si tuviera un mejor mantenimiento ganaría muchísimo. Por la relación calidad precio es difícil pedir más de lo que ofrece.
