Frustrante! Problemas de abastecimiento de agua

El hotel ha perdido el brillo y categoría que alguna vez posiblemente tuvo, hace décadas. El mantenimiento es básico, y claramente necesita una enorme inversión para renovar su mobiliario, adecuar las habitaciones y espacios comunes, y crear comodidades y servicios. En mi habitación sale un hilo de agua en la ducha, y a pesar de reclamar inmediatamente, nunca lo repararon. De día y de noche y en todo horario. Tuve que pedir un recipiente para juntar agua y bañarnos "a tarrito". La atención es excelente, muy amable y servicial. La higiene muy buena. La ubicación bárbara. El desayuno adecuado al precio. Y juegos de mesa para la familia, algo desvencijados, pero disfrutables aún. Esto mitiga en parte la mala experiencia, pero no es suficiente cuando existen problemas estructurales y tan marcados como el abastecimiento de agua. Espero que puedan resolverlo, invertir fuerte en la renovación, y volver a brillar. Hasta tanto eso no ocurra, no volvería ni lo recomendaría.

Pésimo, caro,personal grosero, peligroso y lejos

Bien, aquí tienes los más importantes destacados por qué ni yo ni mi madre nos alojamos mas que 1 noche en el lugar: 1. - Nos tomó 20 minutos que alguien nos atendiera en la recepcion. me pidieron fuera a sacar una copia de mi pasaporte porque no tenían ( esto en el centro a 40 cuadras de donde están en medio de la nada) 2. - La primera habitación que nos dieron estaba mal, sucia y el colchón parecía como si alguien había orinado, así que nos cambiaron. (Por cierto, la señora de la limpieza era muy servicial y amable). 3. - Luego, cuando llegué a la nueva habitación había unos cables que eran peligrosos ya que estaban viejos, oxidados y cerca de agua( boiler en el baño) 4. - el control de tv estaba roto y con cinta adhesiva a manera tapa (sin tapa). 5. - recepcionista y el gerente groseros y no dieron ningún tipo de asistencia. 8. - Conexión a internet está a disposición en el vestíbulo y falla mucho. 9.-me indicaron que podía dejar y que devolverian mi dinero, solo use 1 de 3 noches y ahora se niegan y envían correos insultantes y aseguran no reembolsaran nada. 10.- Esta lejos de todo, ir y venir al centro donde está la vida turistica cuesta 7 dls por ride.

Hermoso fin de semana en Piriapolis

Piriapolis es realmente hermoso. hotel esta frente a la playa y a 20 cuadras aprox del centro. Esto no fue un problema. El desayuno era abundante y de buena calidad. Lo malo: en la habitacion la cama de dos plazas eran dos camas chicas juntas y realmente hacian mucho ruido. Lo demas acorde a la relación precio/ servicio.
