Boa localização, mas precisa de cuidados.
Pelas fotos o hotel parecia melhor. Está precisando de cuidados. Travesseiros, ! e toalhas muito surrados. No meu quarto, a cortina estava soltando, o frigobar desligado, dando um ar de largado. O secador que solicitei na reserva não esquentava. Gostei do café da manhã, simples e gostoso. O pessoal , tanto da recepção quanto dos serviços muito simpaticos e atenciosos. Localização muito boa

Tivemos alguns contratempos que acreditamos serem controlados: o banheiro tinha barata e aranha, em seguida a água acabou durante o banho e tive que tomar banho pegando água em um pote. O ar-condicionado pingou água na cama, na primeira a solicitação para conserto foi feita, mas não foi atendida, até que na 3 noite, depois de pedir novamente eles consertaram. O café da manhã é extremamente simples. A luz do banheiro ficava piscando e o exaustor não funcionava. A cama não é confortável e não serviço de troca de roupa de banho nem limpeza do chão do quarto durante os 4 dias.
