Volver a restaurar el aspecto del hotel. Se nota claramente qué desde el terremoto de 2016, no se ha reparado la cerámica del piso. Y algunas cortinas se ven algo deterioradas.

Deberían mejorar la limpieza del baño y piso de la habitación. Las instalaciones del baño de la habitación se ven viejas y poco cuidadas. La mayoría del personal no saluda, empezando por el área administrativa.
