"Habitación a 15 minutos caminando del centro de Querétaro, la habitación es tal cual las fotografías pero en cuanto a limpieza todavía deja qué desear (piso sucio, me encontré cabellos entre las almohadas, cabecera con polvo...). La habitación es DEMASIADO PEQUEÑA y no sabemos por qué se CALENTABA HORRIBLE! El ventilador ayudaba pero es muy ruidoso y si quieres aire acondicionado debes pagar $150 pesos adicionales por día... No estoy segura si volviera a quedarme en un lugar así... Si tienes...
