My opinion is that this hotel is the best for your dollar when it comes to safety, cleanliness and comfort. Starting with the hotel staff welcoming you with a smile and speaking fluent English. They are there to serve you with any questions. Going to the room, per my request they fill it for me. SO when it comes to non-work time, I can easily take a long walk around the area during the day with no concerns of paranoid safety precautions. Just like any place in the world, use common sense. Back to the hotel, I have stayed at many hotels within the Campinas area and this one is by far the best to stay. Understand this is just a short term stay and not a place you will be living. Thumbs up!
