Prado Hotel
The staff was very courteous. The room was clean and very spacious. It had a living room and a seperate bedroom with no windows which I absolutely loved. The parking lot was gated and felt secure. Huge breakfast spread. Property is slightly dated but the value was there. No disrespect to the elders ...
