Room included breakfast which is pretty good but not great. There is a decent size grocery store within a 5 minute walk from the hotel which was safe during the day, Found one place to eat within walking distance, kind of an open air pub, it was ok. One coffee shop within distance which was good. I never did leave the hotel at night, but area seems fairly safe relatively speaking. Staff was very friendly and always had someone who could speak enough English. WiFi was available free and is a good Hi speed connection when available. 50% of the time it is rock solid and 50% of the time is touch and go. Has Both 220V and 110V outlets in the room. Easy to catch a taxi here, just go out front and wave at them when they go by. Overall it was ok, but I find a different place next time to Porto Alegre.
