Capital O OYO Hotel Las Nubes Mercado de Dulces y Artesanías Ámbar, San Cristobal De Las Casas
No es un lugar horrible pero no es vale el costo para nada, hay muchos lugares mejores que no cuestan tanto. La habitación está bien, con agua caliente. Pero la personal es antipático y la televisión siempre está encendida a un volumen muy fuerte. Muy molesto

Suites del Barrio Hotel
La habitación es cómoda, aunque un poco estrecha, lo que no me gustó es que para entrar o salir tienes que esperar a que alguien vaya a abrir, no puedes abrir tu mismo.
