Me gusta el estilo de cabañitas, sin embargo creo que podrían mejorar en el tema de limpieza de las habitaciones, el personal es atento y responden rápido son flexibles. La ubicación de la posada es buena porque puedes llegar al centro de Mineral caminando ( a unos 10 minutos aprox) y el estacionamiento es amplio.

Maria is a lovely lady and the place is sweet and simple. It gets very cold at night and they were more than happy to give us lots of wool blankets to keep warm. And the shower was super hot!

Tiene un jardin muy bonito. La habitacion que usamos era sencilla pero muy agradable. Lo mejor: sus precios accesibles (considerando que fuimos en días feriados) y su ubicación a menos de 5 minutos caminando desde el centro. La atención del personal tambien muy buena.
