La atención de la persona (una señora) que nos atendió por la tarde aproximadamente 17:00 hrs. No es grosera pero nada amable. Las habitaciones son cómodas, cuenta con aire acondicionado y ventilador. Son de 2 camas. Agradable el lugar para descansar. Si estás de paso o decides pasar una noche fuera de casa. En mi visita reciente (el día 09 y 10 de enero) todo fue super bueno, amabilidad, servicio, atención. Todo super excelente. Olvidamos el ratito de mala atención por la única ocasión que fue así Recomendable al 100, habitaciones limpias, agua caliente en las regaderas. Súper!!

Muy buen lugar lo recomiendo muy limpio y la vista es muy buena. Solo que el personal de recepción le falta un poco más de atención hay uno gordo alto Moreno la verdad muy mala actitud. Me gustaría que hablaran con el ya que es un muy buen lugar siempre que vengo a Nuevo Laredo me hospedo aqui y por esta persona pueden bajar esa gran calidad que tienen. Gracias.
