"Getting a hold of the staff for questions before my stay never happened. I called the listed number through regular cel network, also used WhatsApp and NOTHING. This hotel is in a nice spot, but communication was horrible. Also - they broke one of our chargers when making the beds, they didn't apologize, nor even acknowledge that they broke it.
Nice spot, but the staff and lack of communication will prevent me from staying here again."
