We had quite a bad experience there. At the reception, we were welcomed by an unfriendly young man, who asked us for 20000 pesos extra to give us the AC remote. This was not mentioned anywhere during booking. The bedsheets were very dirty. We had to ask them to change them. The room didn’t feel clean at all either. After check-in, all employees disappeared and we were helped by the barber(?). He didn’t know how to get us our change so we had to leave without it. Overall just unprofessional.
