Es económico. La habitación es limpia. Tal vez no haya agua caliente en tu habitación pero te prestan las llaves de otra y te das un riquísimo baño de agua calientita. No está tan lejos del centro y está en la calle que te comunica con el bosque.

Es un lugar que cumple al 100 con las expectativas de una habitación sencilla. La atención que brindan y el hecho de tener en donde desayunar cerca y una tienda que parece minisúper es algo que le da las cinco estrellas. Podrían ser 4 pero por ese detalle, doy 5.

Es un hotel sencillo, bastante grande, con habitaciones sencillas pero muy cómodas, limpias y muy económico. La atención de la señora que atiende es excelente, desde que ingresas por primera vez y hasta el momento en que dejas el hotel se esmeran por atenderte y tratarte bien. Tiene una tienda muy bien surtida y con precios accesibles, cuenta con estacionamiento, un patio grande y un negocio de comida preparada. Hay habitaciones pequeñas para una sola persona, más grandes y hasta un departamento bastante amplio., en temporada de luciérnagas tienes que reservar con anticipación pero el resto del año está prácticamente vacío. Aunque se encuentra retirado del centro y los avistamientos, por el precio y el trato excelente de todo el personal, vale la pena hospedarse aquí.

El lugar es muy pequeño, es cómo una casa adaptada para hotel pero el servicio es bueno, muy honrados. No queda tan cerca del bosque de las luciérnagas pero sin duda descansas. Falta que dejen las habitaciones más cómodas, el precio no es barato.

Un buen lugar para dormir, en mi caso solo fue para dormir al salir del avistamiento de luciérnagas, esta a solo 20 minutos del santuario por lo que es muy conveniente; es un cuarto sencillo para dos personas con TV en $1,000 pesos.

Muy buena ubicación y cuenta con tienda, no hay necesidad de salir a buscar por qué ahí mismo tienen de todo un poco para botanear y pasar la noche más relax, sin duda volvería a hospedarme
